# Coushatta Management, LLC Coushatta Management, LLC is the applicant of record on the **earliest data-center site plan filed in the 145th Street area** of unincorporated Pulaski County — administratively approved on **2024-02-23**, about seven months before [[AVAIO Digital Partners|AVAIO]]'s September 2024 hyperscale filing nearby. The proposal was a single **60,000-square-foot building** (engineer [[Harbor Environmental]]), far smaller than AVAIO's later campus. Recorded deeds (see Notes) establish that Coushatta's land is a **separate 62.7-acre tract adjoining the AVAIO campus on the west**, not the campus parcel itself — the two were carved from the same [[Arnett Construction Company]] holdings. The name appears in three spellings: "Coushatta Management, LLC" on the county's own [[Coushatta Management 145th Street Data Center Site Plan|Notice of Site Plan Review]] and cover letter; "Coushutta Development" as the produced folder name; "Coshutta Development Site Plan" in the county [[Pulaski County Site-Plan Application Log|site-plan log]]. ## Roles in this corpus - Owner/applicant for the Feb 2024 "Coushatta Management Data Center Site Plan" at 1710 145th Street — a **62.7-acre tract adjoining the AVAIO Project Leo campus on the west**, not the campus parcel itself (see Notes). - **Grantee of a 62.7-acre tract from [[Arnett Construction Company]]** (2024-03-07; $1,330,000) and **grantor of an Entergy easement** (2025-07-25); see Notes. ## People - [[Pete Peterson]] — contact on the application transmittal (`[email protected]`). - Counsel: Randy Coleman, Jack Nelson Jones (per the 2024-01-24 transmittal email). - Engineer: [[Harbor Environmental]] ([[Woodrow Martin]], P.E.; Andrew Rike, P.E.). ## Notes **SoS resolution (2026-06-03).** An Arkansas SoS registry check (primary public record, [Coushatta Management SoS record](../../web%20archive/2026-06-03/sos-corp-search.ark.org/coushatta-management-llc-sos-record.md)) establishes that Coushatta Management, LLC is a **domestic Arkansas LLC** (Filing 811406019; Act 1041 of 2021; filed **2022-11-28**; Good Standing), principal address **1710 145th Street**, with **named Arkansas managers** — organizer **James M. Iseman Jr**; managers Jeremy F. Woolridge, Chris J. Woolridge, Jonathan D. Parsons, Alison M. Rankin, and **Cary M. Peterson Jr** (the [[Pete Peterson]] of the site-plan transmittal). This **distinguishes Coushatta from the [[Michael Montfort]] Delaware-shell cluster** ([[Forgelight Ventures, LLC|Forgelight]] / [[Willowbend Capital, LLC|Willowbend]] / [[Spark Innovations, LLC|Spark]]): Coushatta is **domestic, named, and earlier (2022)** with a different organizer — not an anonymous Montfort shell. (It shares only the Corporation Service Company registered agent, a mass-market agent — non-probative, the same point [[D003 Synthesis|D003]] made about CSC.) Coushatta thus reads as the **local landowner/site entity** at 1710 145th Street that pursued an early (Feb-2024) 60,000 SF data-center site plan before [[AVAIO Digital Partners|AVAIO]]'s hyperscale assembly. **Deed chain resolved (2026-06-03).** A Pulaski County recorded-deed search (primary public record, [Project Leo deed pull](../../web%20archive/2026-06-03/pulaskideeds.com/avaio-project-leo-deed-pull.md)) settles the Coushatta↔AVAIO question — and corrects the earlier reading that the two shared a parcel. **Coushatta did not convey to AVAIO; it bought its land from the same seller AVAIO is developing through.** By Special Warranty Deed **Inst. 2024011217** (recorded **2024-03-07**), **[[Arnett Construction Company]] conveyed a 62.7-acre tract — Part of Sections 23 & 24, T1S R12W, north of 145th Street — to Coushatta Management, LLC for $1,330,000.** That tract is the parcel the [[AVAIO Project Leo Large Site-Plan Package|AVAIO ALTA survey]] shows adjoining the 296-acre campus on the **west**; it is **not** part of the surveyed campus. Coushatta's only other land record is an **Easement Deed to [[Entergy Arkansas|Entergy AR LLC]]** (Inst. 2025039868, recorded 2025-07-25) over part of its tract. So Coushatta and AVAIO hold **adjacent parcels with a common grantor (Arnett)** — not a predecessor-successor chain. (Coushatta's deed lists a Myrtle Beach, SC mailing address; the LLC remains the domestic, named Arkansas entity established above.)
