Is a Data Center Coming

DeKalb County, GA

PCC-DeKalb Data Center Campus

PCC-DeKalb, LLC. Denied.

The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on August 13, 2026 to reject PCC-DeKalb LLC's roughly 1.6 billion dollar, 2 million square foot data center proposal on 95 acres in Ellenwood. The vote followed nearly a year of deferrals on an application that predated the county's data center moratorium, and drew support from residents in the majority Black Ellenwood community who had raised air quality and health concerns.
