Newton County Technology Park (Social Circle Technology Park)
TPA Group / SC Infrastructure LLC. Filed.
Atlanta based TPA Group and SC Infrastructure LLC are proposing a nine building, roughly 2.6 million square foot data center campus (reported as 317 to 338 acres depending on the source) northeast of the Interstate 20 and State Route 11 interchange near Social Circle. The land is caught in a jurisdiction dispute: Newton County says the parcels were never properly annexed into the City of Social Circle and threatened legal action to block the city from approving the rezoning, while Social Circle's planning commission has recommended rezoning from agricultural to light industrial. A special use permit hearing was tabled to May 26, 2025, and no final resolution had been confirmed as of the most recent reporting found.
