Commissioners voted 4-0 on each request, with the chair abstaining, to change the land use map and rezone part of the 165-acre site and to allow two buildings over 50,000 sq ft and a substation, with conditions including data-center-only use and no tax incentives. (Douglas County Sentinel, Feb. 5, 2025; WSB-TV, Feb. 5, 2025)
Neighbors objected to the site's closeness to an elementary school and a park ahead of the county vote. (WSB-TV, Nov. 28, 2024)
A regional-impact filing showed seven two-story buildings, up to 2.3 million sq ft, on about 60 acres, with phase one due in 2027. (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, May 2, 2024)
