Microsoft is advancing plans for a new data center campus in Floyd County, Georgia, with an estimated investment of $340 million. The campus is slated to rise just outside the Atlanta metro area and is designed as a multi-building development focused on large-scale digital infrastructure.
According to the disclosure, the campus will comprise three separate buildings with a combined footprint of nearly 1.7 million square feet. While specific building configurations have not been detailed, the overall plan points to a major expansion of Microsoft’s data center presence in the region. Once operational, the Floyd County facility is expected to support approximately 150 jobs.
The project is part of a broader buildout of Microsoft’s data center network in Georgia. The company is already under construction on additional data center facilities in Douglasville, Palmetto and East Point, expanding its footprint across multiple communities in and around the greater Atlanta area. Separately, Microsoft is developing a $1.8 billion data center project in Union City, adding another large-scale asset to its Georgia pipeline.
The newly announced Floyd County campus is expected to be completed in 2032. That timing aligns roughly with the anticipated delivery of the Union City data center, indicating that Microsoft is staging multiple large projects in Georgia over a similar long-term horizon. The article does not disclose specific phasing plans for the three-building Floyd County campus.
Operationally, the Floyd County data center campus is expected to run on a 24-hour schedule five days a week. The facility is projected to use a maximum of 13,500 gallons of water per day, a detail that underscores some of the infrastructure requirements associated with the planned operations but does not indicate any specific constraints or limitations tied to water availability.
Beyond these headline details, the report does not provide information on the power capacity of the campus, the underlying utility arrangements, or any long-term customer or tenant commitments. It also does not specify whether Microsoft will own and operate the facility directly or involve third-party operators. Even so, the scale of the Floyd County project, together with the company’s parallel developments in other Georgia locations, highlights a continued buildout of data center infrastructure in and around the Atlanta metro area.
