Is a Data Center Coming

Candler County, GA

Canoochee River RV Resort Data Center Project

Canoochee River RV Resort, LLC. Filed

Canoochee River RV Resort LLC filed a Development of Regional Impact application with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for a data center project at 2700 Airport Road in Metter, Candler County, on about 470 acres next to the Metter-Candler Airport and south of Interstate 16. Plans call for five data center buildings of up to 250,000 square feet each (about 1.25 million square feet total) plus two on-site substations, using closed loop cooling to reduce water use, with the developer also seeking a county rezoning from agricultural to planned unit development and targeting phased completion through 2033. Candler County commissioners voted unanimously against introducing a data center moratorium in October 2026, and no public hearing date for the rezoning had been reported as of this writing.
