Mayor and council approve rezoning for Burkhalter data center by 3-2 vote
The Statesboro City Council approved a rezoning request from 4AM Development LLC for a 27-acre site on Burkhalter Road to build a two-story data center, despite significant public opposition regarding noise, water usage, and environmental impact. The vote was 3-2, with Mayor Jonathan McCollar casting the tie-breaking vote to approve the rezoning from high-density residential to office and business use.
