White Oak Technology Park
Google (filed as Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions LLC (Google subsidiary)). Approved.
Columbia County commissioners unanimously approved the White Oak Technology Park data center project near Appling on February 3-4, 2026, with a condition lowering the allowed noise limit at the property line from 70 to 65 decibels. Google subsidiary Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions LLC has now been confirmed as the buyer and end user, paying 475 million dollars for the site from original applicant Trammell Crow Company, and Columbia County's Development Authority approved a combined incentive package worth at least 17 billion dollars on August 26, 2026 covering both White Oak and the nearby Pumpkin Technology Campus, with the county to receive 40 million dollars a year for seven years. Full build out could take up to ten years with a target of 2028 for initial operation.
