Arnold Air Force Base leadership announced on Monday, June 1  that potential Enhanced Use Lease offerors will not be submitting proposals for Arnold AFB parcels for an AI Data Center.

The official deadline to submit such proposals was May 29.

Arnold AFB was one of many bases that were considered.  The Air Force offered land for AI Data Center development at five installations: Arnold AFB, Tenn., Edwards AFB, Calif., Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL), N.J., Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., and/or Robins AFB, Ga.

The Air Force selected these installations based on market analysis, infrastructure availability, and strategic importance, according to the release.
