Georgia is emerging as an AI infrastructure hotspot even as its broader economy slows.
The state is leaning into data center development, which pulls in GPU-heavy AI workloads and the power and cooling capacity they demand.
Willingness to host large facilities and tech jobs is shifting AI investment toward Georgia versus regions with tighter zoning or higher energy costs.
Nationally, a reported $560 billion has flowed into AI deals since 2019, and states like Georgia that clear permitting and power hurdles are capturing a disproportionate share.
For operators, Georgia now looks like a viable region for scaling clusters, if they can navigate grid constraints and local community concerns.
Vendors and cloud providers chasing capacity should be treating this kind of state-level openness as a core siting criterion.
The article is worth a full read if you care where the next AI data center wave is actually getting built.
