Georgia's data center boom leave residents worried about environmental impacts

Georgia's booming data center industry is transforming the region, but for one Fayette County couple, the growth has come with personal costs. The Marschalls say a neighboring data center operated by QTS has brought industrial noise, fumes, and bright lights, and they are concerned about the impact on a nearby creek that feeds into the Flint River. QTS disputes the claims, saying it is operating within environmental regulations, but the Marschalls and the Flint Riverkeeper say the changes have not gone far enough. As Georgia's reliance on data centers grows, the Marschalls and environmental advocates warn that the cost of progress must be carefully considered.
