Proposed data center on Powers Ferry Place in Marietta faces backlash

The Marietta City Council is scheduled to vote on a rezoning application for a data center at 1155 Powers Ferry Place, following a narrow recommendation for approval from the Planning Commission. Local residents and community groups are actively opposing the project, citing concerns over environmental impact, energy and water usage, and the city's lack of specific regulations for data centers. Opponents are calling for a moratorium on data center construction until proper guidelines are established.
