Source notes

Data Center Dynamics reports that the Rome Floyd County Development Authority (RFCDA) announced a '$1 billion' campus; AllOnGeorgia's account of the announcement says Microsoft is 'investing over $1,000,000,000'. The recorded investment of $1 billion is therefore a floor (AllOnGeorgia's wording is 'over'), not a final cost. Completion targeted 2027–2028. Site is 347 acres on Huffaker Road, east of Fouche Gap Road, in unincorporated Floyd County, adjacent to Georgia Power-owned land; land purchased at $40,000/acre (~$13.9M). Microsoft stated site selection was driven by 'Rome and Floyd County's industrial zoning and strong infrastructure.' Microsoft committed to covering all costs for additional infrastructure (power, water, roads) so ratepayers and taxpayers are not burdened. Part of Microsoft's broader East US 3 Georgia cloud build-out; announced to bolster Azure cloud services. Floyd County enacted an 80-day moratorium on new data center permits (2025) but explicitly noted previously filed projects including Microsoft's can proceed. Capacity MW not disclosed. Coordinates are approximate; actual parcel is on Huffaker Road in unincorporated Floyd County.

No public utility service agreement confirmed as of 2026-07-07. Georgia Power is the regional electric utility for Floyd County. A January 2025 Georgia PSC rule approved special terms for new large data center customers using >100 MW.
