Marietta Council Sets August Vote on Powers Ferry Data Center Rezoning

Marietta City Council is scheduled to consider a proposed data-center rezoning at 1155 Powers Ferry Place during its August 12, 2026, meeting. The council’s decision had not occurred as of the city’s August 10 agenda work session.

The proposal has been part of earlier zoning discussions and public debate in Marietta. The pending council action could influence how the city handles land use for data-center development and related electricity-demand planning.

What is scheduled

The city’s calendar lists an Agenda Work Session for Monday, August 10. It then lists an Agenda Review Session and City Council Meeting for Wednesday, August 12.

The city’s Agenda Center identifies the Planning Commission and City Council as the municipal bodies involved in land-use actions. The August 12 meeting is the next scheduled point for council consideration of the Powers Ferry proposal.

A local resident discussion identifies the matter as a data-center vote at Marietta City Hall. The public discussion also reflects the continuing attention around the proposal, but it does not establish the project’s final terms.

What remains undecided

The council has not yet approved or rejected the rezoning. The final zoning conditions, project capacity, construction schedule and expected utility demand have not been established in the city’s published meeting-calendar information.

The August 12 action could be delayed or amended. Until council takes action, the proposal remains a pending land-use matter rather than an approved development.

For residents, the scheduled meetings provide the next public milestones in a debate involving the future use of the Powers Ferry site and the city’s approach to data-center proposals.
