Emory Hillandale Hospital
BrownfieldLithonia, DeKalb, Georgia · DeKalb Regional Health System
Emory Hillandale Hospital is a oil plant in Lithonia, DeKalb, Georgia, retired 2003-08-01. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
