## Questions this page answers

### Is Project Red Clay under construction?

No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Sep 15, 2026) reports it as proposed.

### Who is building Project Red Clay?

Cloverleaf Infrastructure is the operator. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does.

### Which carriers serve Project Red Clay?

No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does.

### How do contractors on Project Red Clay get paid sooner?

The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer.
