State of the Atlanta and Southeast Market: The Opportunities and Challenges Ahead At The Southeast Digital Infrastructure Epicenter
With the Atlanta data center market booming in 2021 and 2022, the city is quickly climbing up the ranks as the region’s data center footprint is set to more than double. Given several advantages, including the low cost of land and power, tax incentives and access to talent, hyperscalers have been primarily interested in building a presence in Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Just how much growth is anticipated for 2023? Should we expect growing pains in the near future or are providers setup for success? |
