Real estate firm Crow Holdings Development and CHI/Acquisitions has effectively withdrawn its application to construct a data center in the city of Fayetteville, Georgia.

Although plans for the data center had been rejected by the Fayetteville planning and zoning commission earlier in late January, Crow Holdings had intended to appeal the ruling at a city council meeting set to take place this week.

But the developer seems to have given up by withdrawing its application, according to a press release issued by the City of Fayetteville on Facebook.

“Crow Holdings Development and CHI/Acquisitions, LP has officially withdrawn their appeal to build a new data center north of the Fayette Pavilion shopping center along Highway 85 North,” reads the post.

If a data center developer wants to build on land that is not correctly zoned for data center use, the final decision usually rests with the highest local authority, not the planning and zoning authority.

But given that the land’s zoning already allowed for the construction of a data center, the Planning and Zoning Commission’s decision to reject a site plan meant that Crow’s only recourse was to appeal the rejection to the City Council.

The data center would have been built on a 37.4-acre land parcel on Highway 85 North, offering 300,000 sq ft (28,000 sqm) of space at completion.

It would be composed of a single two-story data center building, as well as a substation.

The use of the data center for cryptomining would also have been prohibited, according to supporting documentation.

Details about its capacity, however, were not disclosed.

Fayetteville is located around 22 miles (35km) south of Atlanta, the state’s capital.

It is also home to QTS’ 250MW Project Excalibur, as well as a potential 2 million sq ft (185,806 sqm) facility west of Veterans Parkway on an approximately 313-acre site.
