Proposed Data Center Development on Burkhalter Rd. in Statesboro
4AM Development LLC seeks a zoning change to construct a two-story data center on Burkhalter Road, totaling approximately 230,000 square feet. The project requires a special use permit under the City Council's Data Center Ordinance and is designed to meet specific infrastructure and environmental standards.

4AM Development LLC is requesting a zoning change for a 26.94-acre site on Burkhalter Road from high-density residential to office and business district to build a two-story data center covering about 230,000 square feet. The Planning Commission will review the application on August 4, with a City Council vote scheduled for August 18.
The data center will utilize a closed-loop cooling system, with water usage projected at 12,000 gallons per day. A detention pond and a substation are also part of the plan. The city staff recommends conditional approval, citing reduced traffic compared to previous residential plans. This project contrasts with Bulloch County's moratorium on data centers, which may impact regional development strategies.
