The record, newest first

  1. Reports described a state filing for five buildings of up to 250,000 sq ft each on 470 acres, built over five to seven years, plus a request to rezone the land from AG-3 to PUD; the county had earlier this month rejected a proposed moratorium unanimously. (Construction Review Online, Oct. 12, 2026; Baxtel, Oct. 12, 2026)

  2. Commissioners met the owners of the land next to the airport; the chairman said an application had come in but fees were not yet paid. (WTOC, Oct. 6, 2026)

  3. Candler County submitted DRI 4846 for a five-building campus on about 470 acres at 2700 Airport Road, listing a 500 MW peak load from Georgia Power and groundwater supply of about 0.2 MGD, with completion targeted for 2033. (Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Oct. 5, 2026; Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Oct. 5, 2026; Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Oct. 30, 2026)

  4. Candler County's administrator said landowner groups had approached the county and the city of Metter about data centers, one beside the airport along I-16; Metter began recruiting a data center task force. (WTOC, Sept. 15, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The applicant entity is named for an RV resort, but no reporting describes an RV resort on the site.
  • Total floor area of 1.25 million sq ft is the sum of five buildings at up to 250,000 sq ft each, as stated in reporting.
  • DRI 4846 lists an estimated build-out value of $35 billion and annual local tax revenue of $7.5 billion; the tax figure looks like an entry error, so treat both with caution.
