Status unclear
Poolside Project Horizon AI campus (near Fort Stockton)
Also called: Project Horizon, Poolside Infrastructure Company
AI company Poolside planned a 2-gigawatt, gas-powered data center campus on ranch land far outside Fort Stockton. Its main partner, CoreWeave, left in April 2026. It is not clear if or when the project will move ahead.
Where things stand: Land was cleared in early 2026, but its main tenant, CoreWeave, pulled out in April 2026. Poolside was still filing plans for worker housing in July 2026.
🕒 Latest update (July 27, 2026): Fort Stockton Board of Adjustment held a hearing on Poolside's request for zoning exceptions for worker housing in town.
