Henderson Farms data center (Hampton, Georgia)

Southeast Property Holdings' approved three-building, 133-acre campus in Hampton's Henderson Farms development, Henry County's first data center; cannot open until 100 nearby homes are occupied.

Approved, build not confirmed. Hampton's council gave final approval to the conditional use permit 5-0 on Mar. 25, 2025, for three buildings and a substation. An opponents' petition claims construction has started, which we could not confirm; no power supplier, MW figure or tenant is on record.
