In response to growing customer demand, Microsoft announced that they will establish their next U.S. datacenter region—East US 3—on 90 acres that are partially in Douglasville. Microsoft says that this is a significant commitment to the Atlanta region to support the creation of new jobs and local business growth.

"Datacenters also support the creation of local jobs directly through construction and operations of the site, and indirectly through business transformation that increases competitiveness and growth", stated Noelle Walsh Corporate Vice President, Cloud Operations + Innovation at Microsoft. "These jobs include roles in IT operations, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as facility security and maintenance", she continued.

Douglasville Mayor Rochelle Robinson said, "We’re honored to have Microsoft in Douglasville. Today marks another major milestone in both the city and Douglas County’s economic growth, building on years of strategic planning and infrastructure investment. It is important to us that Microsoft is also invested in the region as a community partner. Microsoft’s presence helps cement our position as a center for information technology in the U.S., which has been an ongoing strategic goal.”
