AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Data Center Pressure in Georgia: Residents in Twiggs County are fighting a proposed hyperscale data center on about 291 acres near the Twiggs–Bibb line, with plans described as a $5 billion investment and about $6 million in tax revenue—while opponents warn about impacts to wildlife and rural character and have already taken the fight to court. Sustainability Leadership: DeKalb County named its first chief sustainability officer and an energy manager to push energy management, conservation, innovation, and resilience across the county. Plastics Policy Fight: Georgia is among 17 states backing a multi-state lawsuit challenging California’s Plastics Act, arguing the rules reach beyond California and could raise costs for everyday goods. Local Environment & Infrastructure: Covington completed a new utilities complex that repurposed two older studio buildings to consolidate water, electric, telecom, and gas operations—aiming to reduce waste and environmental impact. Wildlife & Public Safety: Georgia wildlife officials urged hikers and campers to be “BearWise,” and warned about invasive 4-foot lizards threatening native wildlife. Community Education: Colquitt County’s sheriff promoted internet safety for kids, encouraging parents to attend a webinar as summer screen time ramps up.
