Core Scientific’s proposed data center at Old Tilton Road wins planning commission approval after neighbors raise noise and view concerns
Summary
Core Scientific sought to rezone 173 acres of Old Tilton Road to M‑2 for a two‑building data center campus. The planning commission recommended approval with a staff condition retained and one condition removed; neighbors raised concerns about noise, visibility and impacts to nearby farmland and homes.
The Whitfield County Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning a 173‑acre tract on Old Tilton Road to heavy manufacturing (M‑2) to allow development of a two‑building data center campus proposed by Core Scientific.
Core Scientific’s representative, Chip Scagliani, described the project as a two‑building campus with roughly 200,000 square feet per building, dual access (Enterprise Drive and Old Tilton Road), and around 200 employees across shifts when fully operational. “These are relatively high‑paying jobs,” Scagliani said, and he noted a short construction schedule with a target completion in mid‑2026 for the first building, contingent on site‑plan approvals.
