This is not the answer to "who is the tenant." That question is still open: no hyperscale operator has been named, and the record does not establish one. This is a narrower, different question: which legal entity is actually filing the paper in front of state and county officials right now. That one has an answer.
The entity is Sandstone Cliffs DevCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed April 23, 2025. It registered to do business in Alabama on May 8, 2025, as Entity ID 001-189-850 with the Alabama Secretary of State. The address on file is 712 Main Street, Suite 3100, in Houston, the same office suite Cloverleaf Infrastructure lists as its own headquarters. Its registered agent in Alabama is a commercial service, Cogency Global Inc, in Montgomery. None of that is unusual for how a development company structures a single project, and we are not calling it improper. We are answering our own question: who, exactly, are we dealing with.
The same entity is the one that has now filed for an environmental permit. On July 8, 2026, Sandstone Cliffs DevCo LLC filed a Notice of Intent with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for coverage under the state’s general construction-stormwater permit, for the "Red Clay Technology Campus" at the Highway 80 and Highway 21 corner in Lowndesboro. ADEM assigned it permit number ALR10C89L. This corrects something this site got wrong: an earlier version of our harms page said no stormwater plan existed in the public record. As of July 8, one does, in the narrow sense that a permit authorizing stormwater discharge during construction is now on file. It is not an environmental review of what construction will disturb, and it does not answer the site plan, acreage, or wetlands questions this site has also been asking. We could not independently confirm the permit’s acreage, outfall count, or expiration date this session, and we are not publishing numbers we have not verified ourselves.
Put plainly: we now know the name on the filings. We still do not know who will run the facility once it is built, and that is the question that actually determines the water draw, the power draw, the noise, the jobs, and the tax posture. A named development entity is not a named operator.1234
