Atlas Development is developing “Project Springbank,” a $4.5 billion data center. The proposed facility will be located southeast of Adairsville, near Perkins Mountain Road, approximately an hour northwest of Atlanta.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports It’s the same developer that recently filed plans to build a $17 billion data center, “Project Sail,” in Coweta County.

For the Bartow project, the company plans to construct six buildings, each about 379,000 square feet and using about 72 megawatts of power. Data centers have massive power requirements. Through 2037, data centers will account for almost 83% of Georgia Power’s electricity demand from large potential new customers.

In addition, water use is a big issue as well. The Bartow County project is expected to use about 15,000 gallons of water per day, and it would use closed-loop water technology to reduce water and sewer demand.

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2031.
