Embry Development Villa Rica site

Embry Development Company. Filed.

Embry Development Company sought annexation into Villa Rica and rezoning of land between Hickory Level Road and South Van Wert Road in Carroll County for a reported 400 acre data center. More than 30 adjacent property owners filed a court petition (Carroll County Superior Court case SUCV2025000127) challenging the annexation and rezoning, arguing it would directly harm their land and quality of life. This is a separate project from Atlas Development's nearby proposals.
