$30M lawsuit claims DeKalb leaders approved building data center, then issued moratorium

Shadowbox Studios is suing DeKalb County, Georgia, for $30 million, claiming the county misled them into believing they could build a data center on their property, despite it not being zoned for such use. After the company spent millions on development, the county enacted and extended a data center moratorium, leading to the lawsuit. County officials acknowledge concerns about how these promises were made without public input and the potential cost to taxpayers.
