Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
After a public hearing, the Vidalia Board of Aldermen approved an occupational license for data center operations plus water/sewer and electrical service agreements. It also approved an option on about 208 acres of town industrial-park land. The building purchase was still pending.
Underlying source
Source notes
Fortalis plans to buy the roughly 900,000 sq ft former Fruit of the Loom building and use about one-third of it for data center operations. The initial phase needs about 50 MW from Vidalia's municipal electric system (about 104 MW available against about 22 MW used). The company indicated about 65–70 permanent jobs, which the mayor said are not yet in a written agreement. Coordinates are the town centroid from an OSM geocode; the building's exact point was not sourced.
