Data center concerns spread around county
Resident James Kring presented the Tallapoosa County Commission with a proposal addressing concerns about potential data center development. Rural residents are worried that, because the commission cannot establish county zoning rules, data centers could be built in many areas.
James Kring appeared before the Tallapoosa County Commission to raise concerns about potential data center development in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, and presented commissioners with a proposal. His appearance follows earlier discussions by local farmers about zoning and data centers.
The commission does not have authority to establish countywide zoning rules, leaving rural residents concerned that a data center could be developed with limited local control over its location.
