Is a Data Center Coming

Columbia County, GA

Pumpkin Technology Campus

Google (filed as Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions LLC (Google subsidiary)). Approved.

Columbia County commissioners approved the Pumpkin Technology Campus, a 420 acre site along Appling-Harlem Road near Highway 221 planned for four data center buildings, two warehouses, and a substation, by a 4-1 vote on February 3-4, 2026 despite strong pushback from the nearby Greenpoint neighborhood. Google, through subsidiary Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions LLC, has since been identified as the end user, as part of a combined incentive package with the neighboring White Oak Technology Park worth at least 17 billion dollars that Columbia County's Development Authority approved on August 26, 2026. Approval conditions increased required buffers from 250 to 500 feet, raised screening berms from 6 to 12 feet, and barred new residential construction on the east side of Highway 221.
