The Coweta County Board of Commissioners has approved the rezoning of over 800 acres for a substantial $17 billion data center campus, a project spearheaded by Fortune 500 industrial giant Prologis. The approval, secured by a slim 3-2 vote on Tuesday, marks the culmination of a 15-month process that involved a prolonged moratorium on data center development and a significant overhaul of the county's zoning regulations.
The controversial proposal, dubbed "Project Sail," has garnered considerable attention and debate across Georgia since its initial public announcement on New Year’s Eve in 2024. Despite the local contention and the extensive regulatory hurdles, the board's decision paves the way for one of Georgia’s largest and most high-profile data center developments to move forward.
