Where it stands

On July 27, 2026, Core Scientific signed 15-year leases with a Neocloud for 152 MW of critical IT capacity across Auburn, AL and Dalton Phase 3, GA. The Q2 deck lists Dalton, GA at ~120 MW and Auburn at ~32 MW within the new ~530 MW leased tranche, with Dalton initial delivery estimated for 2H 2027. The October 2026 billing increase of 48 MW at Dalton relates to the separate CoreWeave Dalton campus (Dalton 1/Dalton 4, ~175 MW), not Dalton 3. No passage confirms that construction has started at Dalton 3.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Approximate address 210 W Morris St, Dalton, GA 30720, USA Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far We have not located the site yet. · confidence 30%
Undetermined: we have not yet located the actual site, only the town or county it is in, so imagery cannot say whether anything is running.
What would change this: A published address, parcel, coordinates or permit for the site itself.

Grid interconnection Closest 500kV substation is 5.8 mi away (Conasauga Substation). At this distance the project would need to build a new substation on- or near-site to deliver announced load — a viability and schedule signal, not a disqualifier.
