Ten-building data center campus joins a crowded pipeline for computer storage facilities along I-75 south of Atlanta.
It took less than a week, but metro Atlanta has its first mammoth data center campus proposal of 2026.
A $3.7 billion project in Spalding County called Wallace Jackson Data Center Campus was outlined Tuesday in a state infrastructure filing. The project is slated to include 10 data center buildings spanning nearly 5 million square feet, which is more floor space than three Lenox Square malls.
