The Fulton County Commission voted 4-3 Wednesday night to rezone roughly 280 acres in south Fulton for two new hyperscale data centers, clearing the way for what would be among the largest such facilities in the country.

The vote, taken at a contentious 5-hour meeting, was the most-watched local political action in metro Atlanta this year. More than 200 people attended in person; the meeting room spilled over into an overflow space.
