Where Coweta's five proposed data centers stand
Five data center projects are in various stages of development and proposal in Coweta County, Georgia. These projects involve significant rezoning efforts, some of which have been approved while others are still pending public hearings. Residents have filed an appeal in superior court to reverse one of the rezoning decisions, indicating active opposition.
Coweta County, Georgia, is currently a hub of data center development, with five major projects in various stages of proposal and approval. Cathy Wickey, communications manager for Coweta County, confirmed that while the county does not maintain a consolidated list, staff are tracking five significant developments that have filed for rezoning or Development of Regional Impact (DRI) reports.
Project Pegasus, a 2.95 million square foot proposal on 200 acres, is valued at $1.5 billion and requires rezoning, with a public hearing yet to be scheduled. Its DRI, completed in February 2024, predates the county's data center ordinance. Project Oak, comprising six buildings totaling 895,530 square feet, anticipates $40 million in tax revenue; a portion of its land was rezoned industrial in April 2024, and a public hearing for further rezoning is set for July 21. The Bridgeport data center, an extension of an existing industrial park, is projected to be valued between $3 billion and $5 billion, with rezonings already approved.
Project Sail, an 832-acre campus off Wagers Mill and Welcome Sargent roads, received rezoning approval in April for its nine buildings, totaling 4.34 million square feet and estimated to use 900 megawatts of power. However, on May 5, Coweta County residents filed an appeal in Coweta County Superior Court to reverse this rezoning decision. Project Peach, a $1 billion data center at 300 Johnson Circle in Palmetto, received rezoning approval in April 2026 for its 2.1 million square feet of buildings and was granted a 12-month extension in October 2025 to secure a power purchase agreement from Georgia Power. Water usage and wastewater generation are significant considerations for all projects, with DRIs outlining specific daily consumption and discharge figures. Furthermore, residents are reportedly organizing to oppose another proposed data center on Walt Sanders Road.
