DeKalb drops 1 million-square-foot data center plan

DeKalb plan ended

DeKalb County has scuttled a proposal for a 1 million-square-foot data center. The decision ends that plan, although the reason for the change and the specific step that ended it are not stated here.

The project’s size would have been 1 million square feet. No additional details are established about the proposed site, developer, investment, jobs, utility needs or permitting process.

Another Georgia proposal

A separate data center proposal has arisen elsewhere in Georgia. Its location, size, developer and stage in the approval process have not been identified.

The two developments are connected by timing and subject: one data center plan in DeKalb County has been scuttled while another proposal has emerged in the state. They are separate proposals, and the status of the new one remains a matter for the relevant local process.

What comes next

The next public steps would depend on the agencies and local governments handling each proposal. Those steps could include formal filings, hearings or votes, but none is identified here.

For DeKalb County, the immediate news is that the 1 million-square-foot plan is no longer moving forward. For the other Georgia proposal, the key facts still to establish are its location, size, sponsor and approval schedule.
