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
- Permitted
The US Army Corps of Engineers North Atlantic Division approved the 181-acre data center complex application on March 7, 2024. The site's existing heavy industrial zoning already accommodates data centers, so separate county approval is not required.
Underlying source
Source notes
Four data center buildings, an electric substation, auxiliary equipment structures and a small administrative building on 181 acres along the north side of Wellington Road west of Piney Branch Lane, just north of the Jiffy Lube Live amphitheater. The land was previously owned by Atlantic Research Corp, which produced and tested missiles and rockets under Department of Defense contract until 2005. Sharpless Enterprises is a Delaware-registered entity that trade press has linked to Google; that link is reported rather than confirmed by the applicant, so the operator field records the filing entity only.
