Project Sail is a proposed nine-building, roughly 4.3 million sq ft hyperscale data center campus on about 829-832 acres near Sargent Road and Wagers Mill Road near Welcome, outside Newnan. Atlas Development filed the plan in early 2025, and AJC and DCD identify Prologis as the developer; press reports put it at about 900 MW and $17 billion. Coweta commissioners approved the rezoning from rural conservation to industrial 3-2 in April 2026, and residents sued to reverse it in May 2026.
