Microsoft is building data centers in Douglasville, Palmetto, and East Point, all located near Atlanta. Our community development work supports projects across the areas of sustainability and skill building for all ages.
Aligned with Microsoft’s global commitments and our Datacenter Community Pledge, we have created the Community-First Infrastructure Initiative as a concrete step toward being a good neighbor where we build and operate.
- We’ll pay our way to ensure our datacenters don’t increase your electricity prices.
- We’ll minimize our water use and replenish more of your water than we use.
- We’ll create jobs for your residents.
- We’ll add to the tax base that funds your local hospitals, schools, parks, and libraries.
- We’ll strengthen your community by investing in local AI training and nonprofits.

Contribute to a sustainable future
We will design and operate our datacenters to support Microsoft’s climate goals and become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste before 2030.
Advance community prosperity and well-being
We will deliver significant local, economic, social, and environmental benefits.
Operate responsibly as a good neighbor
We will partner closely with communities and operate in a way that respects the local environment.
