24-029 — Data center development with 6,220,000 SF of data center space in eleven buildings and 66,000 SF of warehouse/distribution space in three buildings in Douglas County, GA
This major data center and warehouse project proposes 6.2 million square feet of development on 736 acres of mostly wooded land south of I-20, retaining 538 acres of natural open space but generating approximately 6,456 daily vehicular trips. The project has been reviewed as a Development of Regional Impact and is not aligned with regional growth policies for Established Suburbs, which emphasize preserving single-family neighborhoods and limiting greenfield development, though it does support environmental policies through significant open space retention.
