Amazon recently paid hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire nearly 1,000 acres between Atlanta and Macon for potential data center development.

Amazon Web Services, a division of the e-commerce giant, agreed July 25 to pay roughly $270 million to buy a 985-acre development site along I-75 in rural Lamar County, about an hour south of Atlanta. The property is part of a large industrial park called Legacy 75 Trade Center, which is proposed to eventually include 19 million square feet of development. That’s the equivalent of about a dozen Lenox Square malls.
