Good morning. My name is ___ and I am a resident of DeKalb County. I am here to urge the Commission to say no to mega data center development in DeKalb County. Mega data centers are industrial facilities. They consume enormous amounts of electricity, place long-term strain on water systems, rely on diesel backup generators, and create very few permanent jobs once construction ends. These facilities permanently lock in land use while shifting infrastructure costs and environmental risk onto local communities. The long-term burden falls on residents, not the corporations operating them. DeKalb County’s land, water, and power are limited public resources. Approving mega data centers trades those resources away for minimal community benefit. I urge you to reject large data center development and protect DeKalb’s neighborhoods and future. Thank you.

Good morning. My name is ___ and I live in DeKalb County. I am asking the Commission to vote no on mega data centers. These facilities are often presented as economic development, but in practice they consume massive amounts of power and water while providing very few long-term jobs. Once approved, they operate for decades and permanently change the capacity and character of surrounding areas. Communities absorb the impacts while private corporations benefit. This is not balanced or responsible development. Please reject mega data center projects in DeKalb County. Thank you.
