OpenAI Project Camellia Data Center — Effingham County, Georgia
Effingham County, Georgia · OpenAI
Project Camellia has moved beyond a purely speculative announcement. OpenAI and local authorities have publicly announced the development, and Georgia Power’s service agreement has completed the referenced regulatory review. Effingham County states that additional reviews, approvals, permits, and inspections remain before construction and operation. The current scout assessment is therefore Development / Review & Permitting, not construction-stage.

Wilmer, Texas · Stream Data Centers
DFWC1 has a defined site, public Texas project filing, substantial reported construction value, and a published construction window. That makes it more actionable than a speculative announcement. The approved sources reviewed do not establish that specific subcontract packages are currently open or that active construction has begun.

QTS Project Excalibur — Fayetteville, Georgia
Fayetteville / Fayette County, Georgia · QTS Data Centers
Fayette County states that construction began in March 2023 and estimates completion in February 2027. County records also show active coordination around construction-related water use, water-line easements, and traffic access. This page treats QTS Fayetteville / Project Excalibur as Construction / Active Development, while keeping the ATL2 East filing separate because public reporting does not clearly establish its exact relationship to the earlier plan.

Botetourt County, Virginia · Google
Google has progressed beyond an announced land acquisition. Botetourt County has issued a Land Disturbance Permit and approved the initial mass-grading package, allowing phased grading activity on the site. However, the public sources reviewed do not establish that specific subcontract packages are currently open. Additional state and federal environmental permitting remains relevant to portions of the site.

Avondale, Arizona · Prime Data Centers
Prime broke ground on the first three PHX01 buildings in May 2026. Prime currently identifies PHX01-01, PHX01-02, and PHX01-03 as construction-stage and leased facilities, representing 144 MW of critical IT capacity. Buildings 4 and 5 remain part of the five-building campus, but their current status and availability should be verified from Prime’s project page rather than assumed. ARCO/Murray has publicly disclosed construction participation and scope for the first phase.

VirginiaEARLY PERMITTING WATCH
Amazon Bridgefield Tech Center — Ashburn, Virginia
Ashburn, Loudoun County, Virginia · Amazon Data Services
Bridgefield Tech Center has progressed beyond speculation because Amazon has submitted a site-plan application for a defined four-building campus. However, the reviewed sources do not establish active site construction, a construction team, or open trade packages. The application had been submitted but was not yet officially accepted for review at the time of initial reporting, so the current scout assessment is Site Plan Filed / Early Review—not active construction.

Meta announced groundbreaking for its Lebanon campus in February 2026. Turner Construction says it was selected as one of the contractors, while Mortenson says it is supporting development and collaborating with Turner Construction and Faith Technologies.

Meta Richland Parish Data Center — Louisiana
Richland Parish, Louisiana · Meta
Richland Parish combines active construction with future-phase procurement. Meta identifies DPR Construction, Turner Construction Company and Mortenson Construction as general contractors, while contractor sources disclose distinct portions of scope. Turner states procurement activities are underway and provides a pathway for companies to register interest in construction trade packages and related services. Meta identifies Source Louisiana as its default platform for companies seeking subcontracting opportunities connected to the site. Procurement activity does not mean every package is currently available.
