Provider notes
Community. About 5,000 residents signed an online petition against the project, citing environmental, property-value, health and safety concerns; the council vote creating the overlay district was 6-2.
What the source record says
865 acres in northeast Muscogee County (Upatoi), $5.18 billion, 600 MW — a draw exceeding current power usage for all of Columbus. Columbus Water Works is named as the treated-water supplier. The overlay-district vote is a zoning tool, not project approval. Coordinates are approximate to Upatoi.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-06-16 · source-reported proposed
Columbus Council voted 6-2 to create a technology overlay district in the Unified Development Ordinance. A separate rezoning request for the site has not been submitted, and a DRI review is still required.
