How OpenAI's Effingham Data Center Moved Forward Without Public Input

OpenAI announced plans for a $20 billion data center campus, Project Camellia, in Effingham County, Georgia, sparking public outcry over a lack of transparency and prior public input. Years of land deals, existing industrial zoning, a 2016 development agreement, and confidentiality agreements enabled the project to advance without public knowledge until its official announcement. The project now faces site plan review and further public meetings.
