DataBank Files for 200MW Data Center Campus Near Atlanta, Georgia
U.S. data center operator DataBank has filed a development application for a major new campus outside Atlanta, signaling continued expansion in a region rapidly transforming from a secondary market into a primary hub for digital infrastructure. The project underscores the growing demand for large-scale data center capacity in the Southeastern United States, driven by cloud adoption and artificial intelligence workloads.
The company submitted a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for a campus in Cartersville, a city located approximately 42 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Dubbed Project Indo, the facility will be situated on 69 acres at 218 Industrial Park Road, with plans to deliver 200 megawatts (MW) of capacity across 1.1 million square feet (102,193 square meters). The site is currently owned by Colloid Environmental Technologies Company (CETCO), a construction materials firm, and is located near an existing substation, which could facilitate grid connectivity.
At full build-out, the project is estimated to be valued at $2.4 billion, with DataBank already filing for a 288MW utility grid connection to support future expansion. The first phase of the campus is expected to go live in 2032. This development would become DataBank’s largest site in the Atlanta area and the furthest from the city center, as the company currently operates six facilities totaling 177MW and 751,270 square feet across the metro region.
Founded in 2005, DataBank now manages more than 65 data centers across 25 U.S. metro markets. The Atlanta region has traditionally been considered a Tier 2 market, but a surge in demand has led to a wave of new proposals. Over the past two years, DRI applications for more than a dozen campuses—totaling tens of millions of square feet across dozens of buildings—have been filed across Georgia. While many remain concentrated in Fulton County, the traditional heart of Atlanta’s data center industry, applications like DataBank’s reflect a broader geographic spread as developers seek available power and land.
