The Piedmont City Council has postponed its decision on proposed zoning changes for a large data center campus until August 24. This delay follows a Monday meeting that saw a large turnout of residents, many of whom expressed strong opposition to the project.

The proposed development would involve converting more than 600 acres from agricultural zoning to a planned development unit. Residents at the packed meeting urged council members to prioritize the community's long-term interests over the data center project.
