ELLENWOOD, Ga. — A 1-million-square-foot data center is being proposed at 4280 and 4358 Loveless Place and 2281 Pineview Trail in Ellenwood, Georgia, in South DeKalb County. The DeKalb County Commission deferred the application during its Sept. 30 zoning meeting.
According to a county staff report, the 95-acre site would be a data center campus with an outdoor electric substation. Three two-story buildings would be located on the site.
The county planning department is also working on a text amendment to regulate data centers, particularly large ones like this proposal. A moratorium on new data center developments is in place until Oct. 16.
