Data Center Information
Microsoft Data Center Project Information
The Town of Tyrone recognizes that residents have questions regarding the Microsoft data center project that was approved by the Town Council in March 2024. This webpage has been created to serve as a central source of information about the project, the approval process, and future review requirements.
The project was reviewed through Georgia's Development of Regional Impact (DRI) process and subsequently underwent advertised public hearings before both the Planning Commission and Town Council prior to approval. The zoning approval remains in place; however, the developer has not submitted a site plan for review and has not applied for land disturbance permits, building permits, or other development permits required before construction can begin.
Since the project's approval in 2024, data centers have become the subject of increased public discussion across the country. As a result, residents have raised questions regarding topics such as water usage, power consumption, noise, environmental impacts, tax revenue, and the Town's authority over the project. This page is intended to provide factual information, answer frequently asked questions, and explain the regulatory processes that govern future development activity.
The Town remains committed to transparency and public engagement. As additional information becomes available and future applications are submitted, this page will be updated to provide residents with timely and accurate information.
