• Georgia data center boom brings billions — and growing backlash (fox5atlanta.com) — Chamblee has temporarily halted new data center applications for 180 days while city officials review zoning rules and potential impacts on energy, water, trees, and nearby neighborhoods. The move puts Chamblee among dozens of Georgia communities rethinking how massive AI and cloud facilities fit into local infrastructure and quality of life. Residents statewide are increasingly using moratoriums, lawsuits, and new ordinances to shape this fast-growing industry.
