Compass Datacenters in Meridian has its first publicly announced tenant.
Technology company Corderill LLC announced a $100 million investment on Wednesday. The investment is expected to create 20 new jobs, per the Mississippi Development Authority.
“Companies looking for a location to build or expand will find that Mississippi executes at a higher level. Corderill’s investment at the Compass Datacenters campus in Meridian is a perfect example,” Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork said. “The infrastructure was already in place, so Corderill was able to move forward quickly and with confidence because Mississippi prepares for success. Our forward-thinking approach enables companies to stay on track, generate revenue faster, and create excellent jobs for the people of our state.”

Compass Datacenters announced plans in January 2025 to develop a $10 billion campus in Lauderdale County featuring eight data centers occupied by individual tenants — one of them now being Corderill.
The state has approved Corderill for its Data Center Incentive, which entails multiple sales and use tax exemptions, based on the company’s expectation to create new jobs. The city of Meridian and Lauderdale County are also assisting with the project.
“Corderill’s $100 million investment in Mississippi as a tenant in the Compass Datacenter is another win for the citizens of Lauderdale County,” Gov. Tate Reeves said. “By building the foundation modern companies require, we are attracting projects that create good‑paying jobs and long‑term opportunities for families in our state. This project reinforces our role in powering the digital systems that are shaping our future, and I am excited to welcome Corderill as the latest partner to Mississippi’s growing tech community.”
