#^With sign unveiling, officials cement Infinite Energy Center's renaming as the Gas South District
The Gas South District name was announced earlier this summer, but local officials and Gas South leaders waited until the new sign was ready to be unveiled at the arena before holding a celebration to mark the new moniker.
Gas South inherited the naming rights for the campus, which also includes the Gas South Convention Center and the Gas South Theatre, when it purchased the former naming rights holder, Infinite Energy, in December 2020.
For local officials, the name change has a deep significance because it has local ties. While Infinite Energy had about 1,000 customers in Georgia, according to Gas South President and CEO Kevin Greiner, it was based in Florida.
Gas South, on the other hand, is based in metro Atlanta and is owned by Cobb EMC and had 325,000 customers before the Infinite Energy purchase.
Uh, actually, Infinite Energy had 90,000 customers in Georgia, not 1,000.
