Switch's second Georgia hyperscale campus, a $772 million, 126 acre development in Cartersville on the former Carter Grove site, which the city rezoned to a Technology District. The first data center building, about 1,620 feet long, came online in the second quarter of 2026, with two more buildings under construction as part of a master plan that could extend through 2046. It is projected to generate roughly 15 million dollars a year in local tax revenue once built out.

In Bartow County
Project Bunkhouse Digital Realty
A 12-building, 8.6 million square foot data center campus planned on 876 acres of former cattle farmland off Taff Road near Stilesboro, on the Bartow-Cobb line. Taurus Investment Holdings is developing the site, which will be operated by Digital Realty, with a reported power capacity around 1,830 megawatts across three on-site substations. Bartow County Sole Commissioner Steve Taylor approved the rezoning on June 4, 2025 after the planning commission recommended approval; the project is expected to be built in phases through the mid 2030s.
Spring Place Data Center Operator not disclosed
A 75 acre rezoning from agricultural to business park district near White in Bartow County, next to a planned 40 acre Georgia Power substation, approved by Bartow County on June 4, 2025 alongside Project Bunkhouse. The applicant was represented by Cartersville attorney Lester Tate and the rezoning was finalized to complete a property sale. Public reporting does not specify the operator, building size, or power capacity.
Brown Farm Road Data Center Oakley Real Estate Partners
A proposal by Oakley Real Estate Partners to rezone about 111.4 acres on the west end of Brown Farm Road in Bartow County from agricultural to business park district for two data center buildings totaling about 374,000 square feet plus a power substation. The application projects roughly 50 jobs and about 5 million dollars a year in property tax revenue. The Bartow County Planning Commission hearing was postponed from July 27 to August 24, 2026 to satisfy tribal notification requirements.
Project Indo Operator not disclosed
A data center complex proposed for 209 Industrial Park Road off U.S. 411 in Bartow County, behind an Americold Logistics facility, on 68 acres with a reported buildout of about 1 million square feet and a very large reported power draw of up to 2,000 megawatts. A Development of Regional Impact application has been filed with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, and county officials have expressed support while also finishing a new data center permitting ordinance.
Project Springbank Atlas Development
A proposed $4.5 billion, six building data center campus (about 379,000 square feet and roughly 72 megawatts per building) on 630 acres off Barnsley Gardens Road near the Barnsley Resort, close to Adairsville. Barnsley Resort's owners and more than 2,000 petition signers opposed the project, and the Bartow County Planning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend denial in April 2025. Applicant Atlas Development withdrew the rezoning application on May 13, 2025 rather than face a denial vote, and under county rules cannot resubmit an identical application for six months.

Power bills in Bartow County
Most of the county is served by Georgia Power, with parts on Cartersville municipal (city owned) or GreyStone Power or Cobb EMC or Amicalola EMC. Cartersville has its own municipal electric utility for the city itself. The rest of the county is a mix of Georgia Power and EMC territory.
Base rate freeze through 2028 (docket 44280) holds base rates flat from July 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026. The December 2025 certification of about 9,885 MW of new generation for data center load came with a promise of at least $8.50 a month of downward pressure on a typical bill in 2029 through 2031, because large customers are meant to carry more of the cost. Consumer groups warned it could instead add around $20 a month if the projected data center demand does not show up.
Georgia Power and the Georgia PSC Public Interest Advocacy Staff reached a stipulated agreement extending the alternate rate plan first approved in the 2022 rate case, keeping Georgia Power base electricity rates flat through at least 2028. The Georgia Public Service Commission approved the stipulation by vote on July 1, 2025, with a formal order issued July 31, 2025. The freeze applies only to base rates and does not limit separate fuel cost recovery or storm cost recovery charges, both of which can still change a residential bill during the freeze period. Georgia Power has said growth in large load customers such as data centers helped make the freeze possible by spreading fixed costs across a larger customer base.
