Economic Impact

Four ways a data center campus strengthens your local economy.

Choose the outcome that matters most to your community. We build the site strategy and economic case around your priorities.

Local Revenue Growth

Create a durable source of tax revenue that can strengthen public services, infrastructure, and long-term financial planning.

Power-Ready Development

Align available land, utility capacity, and transmission access with real data center requirements. Power is often the deciding factor.

Jobs & Local Investment

Generate significant construction activity during development, followed by skilled permanent roles and demand for local services.

Responsible Community Fit

Address zoning, water use, infrastructure, noise, and neighborhood concerns early with transparent planning and realistic projections.

How It Works

From the first conversation to groundbreaking.

A clear five-step process for evaluating your site, building the business case, and attracting qualified data center developers.

01

Community Discovery

We align on your economic goals, available land, utility conditions, timeline, and community priorities.

02

Site & Power Assessment

We evaluate transmission access, utility capacity, fiber, water availability, infrastructure readiness, and potential site constraints.

03

Feasibility & Approvals

We review zoning, permitting, parcel configuration, infrastructure needs, incentives, and overall community compatibility.

04

Developer & Tenant Outreach

We package the opportunity and introduce qualified developers, operators, and tenants that match the site.

05

Agreement to Groundbreaking

We support due diligence, entitlements, incentive agreements, PILOT structuring, public communication, and project launch.

For city officials

Why data centers anchor a city's economy.

Traditional paths to growth have narrowed - manufacturing shifts, retail and office face headwinds, and housing brings as many costs as it does revenue. Data center development offers a large, durable tax base that doesn't depend on adding residents.

The economics are unusual. A campus adds little in land value, but the servers, equipment, and buildings can add billions to a property's taxable worth. Because electricity is roughly three-quarters of a data center's operating cost, these projects are decided on power and transmission - which is where a well-positioned community wins.

We work directly with officials, development authorities, and utilities to navigate power, zoning, and community integration - turning dormant industrial sites or open tracts into campuses that attract major tenants.

Proof, not promises

Who said yes and who said no.

Real Georgia communities, real outcomes. The ones that moved are filling their treasuries; the ones that hesitated watched the investment go elsewhere.

✓ Said yes
Newton County & Social Circle
Meta / Stanton Springs campus

Land that sat off the tax rolls for nearly two decades now generates again. Meta has paid $12M+ in taxes since 2022, with payments scaling to $5M/year by 2033 across four counties, and funded $370K in school laptops. The win has drawn 11+ more projects to the area.

City of Covington
Newton County

Officials anticipate ~$500M over 16 years (about $30M/year) and are now weighing a 100% homestead exemption that would zero out residents' county property taxes, funded by data center revenue.

Rome & Floyd County
Microsoft

A $1 billion Microsoft campus, structured through the local development authority, anchoring a northwest Georgia tech corridor.

Butts & Douglas Counties
Amazon Web Services

More than $11 billion in AWS investment across two metro counties, with negotiated local tax commitments.

✗ Said no
Monroe County (Bolingbroke)
Denied / 2025

Turned away a proposed $6 billion, 900-acre, nine-building campus in a unanimous vote. At Georgia averages, a project that size could mean tens of millions a year in property tax, now gone to another county.

Fayetteville & Fayette County
Banned

Prohibited data centers in every zoning district, closing the door on the industry and its tax base entirely.

Paused and at risk of missing out
Moratoriums & restrictions

DeKalb, Douglas, Troup, Hall, Clayton, and Pike counties enacted moratoriums; Atlanta restricts them near transit and the BeltLine. Every pause sends the next project to a community that is ready.

These are the projects' announced figures, and communities that declined cited real concerns: water, power, traffic. That is exactly why power-ready, low-conflict sites win: they capture the investment without the fight.

All figures are as announced or reported by the cited sources. Verify current status before relying on any number. 2025-26.
