Douglas County, Georgia has become one of metro Atlanta's most active data center submarkets, with 11 facilities now operating in the county, according to information presented during recent community meetings. The county's growth reflects a broader wave of hyperscale investment moving into Georgia's Southeast data center corridor.
DC BLOX operates its Atlanta West campus in Lithia Springs, a facility built to support 120 megawatts of critical IT capacity. Company plans allow for expansion of the campus to as much as 200 megawatts as demand for colocation and cloud infrastructure continues to climb across the region. The Douglas County site sits within the broader Atlanta data center corridor along Interstate 20, an area that has drawn continued interest from operators seeking access to power and fiber connectivity outside the more built-up submarkets closer to downtown Atlanta.
Microsoft also maintains a significant presence in Douglas County through its Douglasville campus. That facility is expected to grow to nearly 1 million square feet spread across four technology buildings on roughly 160 acres, part of Microsoft's continued build-out of cloud and AI infrastructure in the Southeast.
The expansion activity in Douglas County mirrors similar growth across metro Atlanta counties, where operators have steadily added capacity to serve rising demand from cloud computing and artificial intelligence workloads. Local officials have noted that the county's existing data center base, paired with continued investment from operators like DC BLOX and Microsoft, positions Douglas County as one of the busier submarkets in the broader Atlanta data center market heading into the second half of 2026.
