Project Splice technology campus outside Cordele
Also called: Project Splice, Cordele Technology Campus, Red Wolf data center
A data center campus of up to seven buildings is planned on about 584 acres just east of Cordele. Crisp County approved the rezoning in June 2025. Filings value it at $6 billion, and county staff said it would use about 300,000 gallons of water a day.
Where things stand: Crisp County rezoned 583.62 acres for the data center on June 10, 2025. A new developer, Premier Data Center Development, now leads the project.
🕒 Latest update (Aug 2026): Residents met at Midway Church about the project, now led by Premier Data Center Development.
