Is a Data Center Coming

Richmond County, GA

Project Eisenhower

QTS Data Centers (filed as Eagle South LLC). Under construction.

Originally filed in January 2022 by T5 Data Centers as a four building, 1.67 million square foot, roughly 200 megawatt campus off Gordon Highway, the project is now controlled by QTS Data Centers, Blackstone owned, through Eagle South LLC, and has expanded to six two story buildings totaling more than 2.15 million square feet across about 140 acres, a roughly 2 billion dollar investment. Site clearing, home demolition, and earth moving were underway through 2025 and into 2026 next to the Haynes Station and Captains Corner neighborhoods, and Augusta put a temporary hold on new data center approvals in mid 2026 that does not apply to this already approved project. QTS says the facility will use closed loop cooling that does not draw water once operating, but neighbors have complained about a lack of communication before construction began.
