Marietta residents oppose data center project, question city approval process
Marietta residents are actively opposing a proposed 18 MW data center by Prime Storage in the Franklin Gateway area, citing significant environmental concerns, high electricity demand, and noise/emission issues near Rottenwood Creek. Despite a city-wide moratorium enacted in July 2026 and unfavorable zoning, city officials are reportedly still considering the project, sparking accusations of a rush to approve and lack of due diligence.
