Greetings ,

Thank you to everyone who came out and filled the Columba County Commission Chambers this past Tuesday. Seeing so many like-minded individuals standing up and asking questions made my heart sing.

Now it's Augusta Richmond County's time to answer to its citizenry. Unfortunately, not as much information is known about this proposed data center since it flew WELL under the radar. Again, regardless of which county you live in, you will be directly affected by the astronomically high electric bills, strain on our water supply, noise pollution, and environmental pollution resulting from these data centers. Show up and show the commission that WE HAVE A VOICE!

Here is what Channel 12 reported recently:

Gordon Highway Proposed Data Center In The News

What: Augusta Richmond County Community Meeting Regarding the proposed Data Center

When: Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026 6 PM

We must remember that:

" When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money." ― Alanis Obomsawin

Info on our next General Meeting is coming soon, so stay tuned!
