"Thanks, but no."

NW Georgians say, "Thanks, but no," to Data Centers

Wow, so...

big data and their representatives believe that they can come into our communities, consume an inordinate amount of resources, and make us believe that this is the way it has to be.

But it isn't. So we are encouraging a different way. 

​

LTCA wants to help our local governments and communities consider development that prioritize our precious natural resources as well as community health. To that end, we offer NW Georgians (and anyone who needs them!) the below tools and resources to help say, "Thanks, but no" to data center encroachment into their community.

 

Check out the non-paywalled resources and tools below, and come back often for the new ones that will be added here as we receive them! 

 

Want to tip us for compiling this info?

You can do that here: www.paypal.biz/limestaylorconsult
Or at our new Cashapp: $limestaylorconsult

Thank you!

Tracking & Reporting

The proliferation of data centers has been happening with little public knowledge or input beforehand. Because of this, the research on the effects of data center is still growing. Here is the reporting that we've read so far, including reporting on Georgia:
