Commissioners object to annexation requests involving possible data center sites
NEWTON COUNTY – Data centers have seemingly been on the rise in recent years across Georgia. But if Tuesday’s board of commissioners meeting gave any glimpse into the future, Newton County officials are looking to slow that trend down. On Tuesday, the commissioners objected to three separate annexation requests for planned data center sites in matching 4-0-1 votes. Two of the annexation requests came from the City of Covington, while one came from the City of Social Circle.
