OpenAI is planning a $20 billion data center campus near Savannah, Georgia, as part of a broader expansion programme that includes over 1,500 data centre projects underway across the United States, many in rural locations.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply power, cooling, land infrastructure or equipment to data centres, OpenAI's $20 billion Georgia project signals a structural shift in where compute gets built—and you now have 1,500+ sites to sell into rather than waiting for Bay Area or coastal deals. This is a customer concentration problem for regional contractors and a market access moment for rural infrastructure vendors.
