Project Turbo in Gainesville, GA is contested. Group: https://lakelanier.org/project-turbo-data-center/#:~:text=A%20company%20called%20Project%20Turbo,relied%20substantially%20on%20evaporative%20cooling. | Hall County transitioned from intense local resistance to a broader legislative debate after the developer formally withdrew their data center application in December 2025. [Recent] While the original hyperscale proposal for 2400 O’Kelly Road is currently "abandoned," advocates remain on high alert due to the developer's stated interest in pursuing the project through other avenues, such as annexation into the City of Gainesville. Track what's being decided, when, and how to weigh in.

Your action kit

Sourced arguments and ready-to-send letters — every figure links to a primary record. Edit to add your own story.

Process

Demand a full, public review — not a rubber stamp.

Ask for an independent noise study, a water-and-power impact assessment, enforceable conditions (setbacks, hours, cooling type), and that the record stays open for written comment. Procedural shortcuts have voided approvals elsewhere.

“The City of Gainesville/Hall County does NOT have the water infrastructure to support this development. A review of the latest long-term planning documents will clearly illustrate that to be true.”
