DECATUR, Ga. — The DeKalb County Commission deferred action on data center regulations until the end of the year during its Nov. 20 zoning meeting.
The commission also deferred a decision on a proposed 1-million-square-foot data center at 4280 and 4358 Loveless Place and 2281 Pineview Trail in Ellenwood in South DeKalb County.
The proposal drew opposition from South DeKalb residents. About two dozen people rallied against it and data centers generally, before the meeting.
About 75 to 100 people attended the zoning meeting, and many spoke against data centers, raising health and environmental concerns. Some were in favor of the ordinance, some would like DeKalb County to ban the centers, and many were wary of the Ellenwood proposal.
