Massive Data Center Complex Planned for Coweta County
Atlas Development is exploring the possibilities of constructing 13 data centers about 40 miles outside Atlanta in Coweta County. The project, expected to cost $17 billion at full buildout, is far from a done deal. The company’s proposal must contend with power needs that exceed those of the county’s households. Through 2037, data centers will account for almost 83% of Georgia Power’s electricity demand from large potential new customers.
In addition, the company must manage the huge water and sewer requirements for a project of this size.
The project would rise on 800 acres near Newnan on a tract off U.S. 27 bounded by Wagers Mill and Welcome to Sargent roads. Each data center would be 378,000 square feet, with the whole project spanning almost 5 million square feet.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports Coweta County estimates the project would generate almost $1.6 billion in annual tax revenue.
