Data Center Boom Reaches West Georgia, Raising Questions Amid Mounting Opposition

A proposed hyperscale data center, 'Project Ruby,' in Muscogee County, Georgia, is facing significant community opposition due to concerns about its environmental impact, water and electricity consumption, and potential tax incentives. Local residents, including Kim Hicks, are actively campaigning against the $5 billion project, which could draw 600 megawatts of electricity and hundreds of thousands of gallons of water daily. Despite a nonbinding zoning framework approval, residents demand more transparency and a say in the development, while local officials, like Mayor B.H. "Skip" Henderson, aim to establish early standards for such projects.

She has 22 family graves on property down the road from proposed Columbus data center

Muscogee County homeowner Debbie Jackson is actively opposing the proposed $5.18 billion "Project Ruby" data center near her property, citing concerns over 22 family graves and dozens of unmarked historical graves. She also worries about potential health risks from "thermal runaway," noise, light pollution, decreased property value, and water contamination. The Columbus Planning Advisory Commission recently recommended a 500-foot buffer zone, which Jackson views as insufficient.
