Is a Data Center Coming

Troup County, GA

Project West

WHP-GA LLC. Filed. 600 MW.

Project West is a proposed 9.7 billion dollar, roughly 600 megawatt data center campus on about 513 acres near LaGrange and Hogansville, filed by WHP-GA LLC and led locally by resident Joshua Harrison, with six buildings of about 250,000 square feet each. Hogansville area residents organized as the Troup County Anti-Data Center Coalition to oppose it over water, noise and property value concerns. Troup County enacted a 90 day moratorium on data center applications starting September 16, 2025 that paused special use permits, rezonings and related approvals, and LaGrange followed with its own 180 day moratorium; the project's status since the moratoriums lapsed could not be confirmed.

What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 600 MW facility would draw roughly 1.9 million to 6.8 million gallons of water a day, about what 21,900 households use.

MEAG Power supplies the city owned utilities and expects data center load on its system to roughly double within about five years. City utility rates are set by each city, not the Public Service Commission.
