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

1. 2026-07Proposed

   Akin & Tate P.C., on behalf of Oakley Real Estate Partners, applied to rezone about 111.4 acres off Brown Farm Road from A-1 to Business Park District and to change the land use map from low density residential to industrial; Oakley presented the plan at a 2026-07-15 community meeting. On 2026-08-24 the Bartow County Planning Commission voted 6-0 against both requests, sending recommendations for denial to the sole commissioner for a final decision at his 2026-09-02 meeting.

   Underlying source

Source notes

Rezoning request by Akin & Tate P.C. on behalf of Oakley Real Estate Partners for about 111.4 acres at the west end of Brown Farm Road, near the Etowah River, from A-1 (agricultural) to Business Park District, with a land-use-map change from low density residential to industrial. Oakley described it as a micro-scale data center it intends to market; no end user has been named. The plan is two buildings of about 374,000 sq ft in total, with a power substation and a single access drive, and a voluntary condition that the campus never exceed 450,000 sq ft. Other self-imposed conditions: setbacks of at least 200 ft from residential areas, and no cryptocurrency mining. Oakley estimated about 50 jobs and roughly $5 million a year in property taxes. At the Planning Commission hearing, Oakley said the substation and the nearest building would each sit 400 ft from the riverbank. The hearing was first set for 2026-07-27 but was removed from that agenda after county staff found a discrepancy in the notice sent to Native American nations with ties to the district. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend denial on 2026-08-24; the commissioner's 2026-09-02 agenda listed zoning applications, but as of 2026-09-30 neither the meeting minutes nor any press report of the final decision had been found. No Georgia DRI filing exists for the project. No capacity or investment figure has been disclosed. Coordinates are the western end of Brown Farm Road SW in OpenStreetMap, the location the press gives for the site, not a surveyed parcel centroid.
