Gordon County, GA

Highway 53 Spur Data Center Site

Operator not disclosed. Rumored.

A roughly 57 acre site at 1401 Highway 53 Spur inside Calhoun city limits, already zoned for industrial use, was being cleared and had a driveway installed as of April 2026, widely read locally as preparation for a data center, but no developer, operator, or formal project has been publicly announced. Calhoun's city council has since approved a 90 day moratorium on new data centers while officials study regulations, and Gordon County separately extended its own moratorium in unincorporated areas.
