Updates, newest first

  1. May 2025 Low-pressure complaints led the county to find two more QTS water lines and bill the company about $147,000; the county later blamed a smart-meter upgrade for the gap. (Atlanta News First, July 13, 2026)
  2. Feb. 2024 The first county water meter on the site came online. (Atlanta News First, July 13, 2026)
  3. Sept. 20, 2022 A regional-impact (DRI) filing described up to 16 buildings and 6.6 million sq ft of data center space. (DatacenterDynamics, Sept. 20, 2022)
  4. Aug. 2022 QTS bought the 615-acre site for $153.8 million, according to the Fayette County Development Authority. (DatacenterDynamics, Sept. 20, 2022)

Conflicts and open questions

  • No MW figure was confirmed. A 2022 unattributed report of 250 MW was never confirmed.
  • QTS says it used no water improperly or without paying. No wrongdoing has been alleged.
  • Atlanta News First notes the county denied a separate proposed data center in Fayetteville after neighbor opposition. The city later banned new data centers (see moratoriums).
