The record, newest first

  1. The DeKalb Zoning Board of Appeals upheld the denial and left the legal arguments to the court. (Atlanta News First, Sept. 9, 2026)

  2. The studio said it had spent $30 million on the project and would ask the zoning appeals board to reverse the county's denial. (Atlanta News First, Sept. 1, 2026)

  3. Shadowbox Studios and affiliate Henrico 183 sued DeKalb in Superior Court, asking that the moratorium be voided, that a data center be allowed, and for compensation, saying the county had told them the use was permitted. (Atlanta News First (from Decaturish), Aug. 13, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Spending figures differ: $30 million in the lawsuit coverage, $37 million in the Sept. 9 report.
  • Claimed loss in property value of $200 million is the plaintiffs' allegation.
  • WSB-TV corrected its report that the suit sought $30 million; $30 million is the reported spending, not the damages claim.
