Augusta neighbors voice concerns over proposed data center pause
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – People who live in the Haynes Station neighborhood are sharing their frustrations about a data center being built in West Augusta.
Neighbors say their concerns include a lack of transparency and communication from city leaders and the developer behind the project.
The comments come ahead of a possible pause on data center developments in Augusta. Commission leaders are expected to discuss the issue Tuesday.
One neighbor said she wants commissioners to approve a moratorium that would apply not only to future data center proposals, but also to the Eisenhower Drive data center project.
“I want to walk away with them all voting yes to a moratorium, not just for new proposed data centers, but to include the Eisenhower Data Center,” she said. “We’re saying a time frame — I don’t know, 12 to 18 months — until the policies are established on all data centers, to include the Eisenhower one.”
Neighbors say they plan to attend the commission meeting.
We will keep you updated on what comes out of the discussion.
