ATLANTA — A huge announcement was made by Microsoft on Thursday that will impact not only the whole state of Georgia, but particularly the west side of Atlanta.

The tech giant bought 90 acres of land in the Bellwood Quarry area to develop a new campus.

Quarry Yards is located in a rapidly developing area near the Atlanta Beltline path -- a new 280-acre westside park and the Bankhead MARTA rail station. Content Continues Below

The project also includes three new data centers.

“We’re not here to ask what Atlanta can do for Microsoft. Today is all about a different question: What can we at Microsoft do to help everyone in Atlanta?” said Brad Smith, president of Microsoft.

Smith joined Gov. Brian Kemp and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Thursday to announce the tech giant bought the land to not only create the Microsoft campus, but housing, offices and shops as well.

Lots of new jobs, but unfortunately you will be working for Microsoft.

Oh Jeeze, thousands of liberal techies infesting Georgia.

That is just exactly what I thought when I saw this article.

We Americans won’t be, Indians will be.

I hope the place is Haunted

Well, M$ could help cover up and facilitate future Atlanta vote fraud going forward...

[Repeal The 17th]

That area has been taken for granite for many years.

Payoff to Georgia for counting the votes the right way.

This neighborhood (Grove Park) actually is infamous in Atlanta history. Just Google Emmanuel Hammond and Julie Love.

RIP, Julie.

I see, you're from Microsoft and you're here to help. Got it.

Goodbye, that’s all she wrote for GA.
Within a decade or two at most the entire eastern seaboard from FL to Maine will mirror the west coast politically.

If only our side could flip states.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Georgia is lost.

Gotta bone up on feudal practices.

I assume the lord throws a party of some sort for his new vassals.

Is Microsoft is laying the groundwork to move its headquarters from Redmond, Washington to Atlanta, Georgia? Hmmmm! This may be what you get because of the tax-to-the-max Washington State DemonKKKrats.

Dumb. Migration is destruction.

The parasitic invasion and communist take over of normal American environments continues.

LOL. That part of the Atlanta loop has absolutely hellish traffic. Those Redmond weenies aren’t going to like it much.
