Advocacy groups allege improper permitting for Covington data center, power plant

Advocacy groups are urging Georgia's Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to halt construction of a data center and power plant in Covington, Georgia. They allege that developers Volta Grit and Full to Grid started building without obtaining proper environmental permits, violating state and federal environmental laws. Crews are actively working on the site despite the lack of permit approval.
