OpenAI commits to Project Camellia data center in Effingham County, Georgia
OpenAI announced Project Camellia in Effingham County, Georgia, packaging the buildout with commitments on responsible energy sourcing, local community investment, job creation, and free community access to Codex. The Codex-access commitment is the novel term — previous hyperscaler community benefit agreements traded in tax abatements and job numbers, not product access. It reads as an attempt to pre-empt the local political friction that has stalled data center siting elsewhere.
