Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 23, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Project Azalea (Thomson Data Center Campus) in Thomson, McDuffie County, Georgia appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

Planned 400 MW supply from Jefferson Energy. The Central Savannah River Area Regional Commission's DRI report states sufficient energy supply is not currently available to serve the project; studies are ongoing with Georgia Power, Georgia Transmission Corporation and the EMC.

Notes on the record

Six data center buildings at 2660 to 2358 Randall Hunt Road, Thomson; potential completion 2029. Developed by Project Turbo, LLC, the same entity behind the separately tracked Gainesville/Hall County proposal, this is a distinct McDuffie County site, not that project. Coordinates are the Thomson city centroid (OSM Nominatim); the street is recorded without a number because the parcels span an address range.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
How the community has received it

Which document closes each gap

Cooling method and water use: The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

Other sites within 30 miles

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
