La empresa Kelly Towers LLC ha propuesto la construcción de una torre de telecomunicaciones de 175 pies (concretamente, una torre monopolar) en Pine Circle Drive, en Gainesville. La propuesta se ha presentado en un barrio de clase trabajadora, con una población mayoritariamente hispana. Hay varios problemas, entre ellos la seguridad de las familias de la zona, la posible disminución del valor de las viviendas y, por supuesto, ¡el hecho de que se proponga en una zona residencial! Ayuda a los vecinos a lograr que se rechace la torre de antenas: envía un correo electrónico a la Comisión del Condado de Hall y al secretaría para pedirles que voten en contra. ¡No olvides a ir a la reunión de la Comisión del Condado de Hall el martes 22 de septiembre y lleva preparado un comentario público! ¡Es hora de organizarnos y luchar contra esta propuesta de desarrollo peligrosa!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The company Kelly Towers LLC has proposed a 175 foot telecommunication antenna tower (specifically a monopole tower) on Pine Circle Drive in Gainesville. It's being proposed in a working class, predominantly Hispanic, neighborhood. There's several issues including safety for the nearby families, potential decreased home value, and not to mention it's being proposed in a residential area! Help the residents in getting the antenna tower rejected - email the Hall County Board of Commissioners and the clerk to tell them to vote no. Don't forget to attend the actual Hall County Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday September 22nd and to come prepared with a public comment! It's time to get organized and fight back against this harmful development proposal!

THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 22ND 4-6:00PM AT POULTRY PARK; Join us in saying NO DATA CENTERS IN HALL COUNTY OR ANYWHERE!

We'll be at Poultry Park with protest signs and information available opposing data centers in Hall County. If the Hall County Board of Comissioners won't listen to us at the meetings - they can most definetly hear us when we're shouting in the streets!! 🗣️

Show up with a friend, wear weather friendly clothes, and bring water. We'll have a tent available where people can sit if they need a break from the heat. We'll also have a small cooler - if you'd like to bring any water or ice that'd be much appreciate.

We know it's short notice - but we also know you f*cking hate data centers so show out and don't forget to also come on out to the next Hall County Board of Commissioners meeting August 27th 6:00pm, at the Hall County Government Center for when the BOC votes on the updated ordinances on data centers.

We'll see you soon!

Earlier today Hall County Commissioners spoke on Access North GA about data centers. Commissioners Greg Poole and David Gibbs entertained the idea of possibly having data centers in Hall County. DESPITE months and months of Hall County residents demanding NO data centers at all should be built in the county!

Tomorrow, the UDC will have one final review and public comment period at the Hall County Board of Comissioners meeting 6-8:00pm. This is your chance to show up and provide a public comment about your thoughts on data centers in Hall County!

No data centers - no detention centers in Hall County! We look forward to seeing you there tomorrow

The community's input is clear: no data centers in Hall County!

Don't forget - the last UDC Public Hearing will be this Thursday at the Hall County Board of Comissioners meeting 6-8:00pm at the 2nd floor of the Hall County Government Center!

Once we finish our general meeting (which starts at 5pm) at the Gainesville Library we're going immediately over to this final hearing. This is the last chance for the public to provide comment on the UDC - Unified Development Code. Let the Board know NO to data and detention centers! If you helped to combat the Project Turbo data center or the Oakwood detention center, this is one more thing you can do in the fight - and its as simple as attending a meeting! We're excited to see you there.

Thank you so much to those who attended our sign making event yesterday at Longwood Park! Don't forget - there are two governmental body meetings today.

At 3:00pm the Hall County Board of Commissioners will be having a work session meeting at the Hall County Government Center. You can address broad county matters or general non-public hearing topics during work sessions. Citizens have 2 minutes to provide public comments at the work session.

At 7:00pm Oakwood City Council will have their voting meeting at the Oakwood City Hall. Citizens can provide input/public comment for a max of 3 minutes. Even if you are not an Oakwood resident you can provide public comment but it won't be on the public record. (But you would have given a piece of your mind in person, to the faces of those who sit on the Oakwood City Council.)

A reminder that community members have been demanding a ban on both data and detention centers. Community members are vastly upset at Oakwood and Flowery Branch's recent entering into 287g agreements. You can provide public comment about how you feel onto that and whatever else at today's Oakwood City Council meeting.

Excited to see you there!

Hace solo unos días, los Departamentos de Policía (DP) de Oakwood y Flowery Branch firmaron acuerdos 287g, específicos para los modelos de fuerza operativa. El condado de Hall ya está sujeto a un acuerdo 287g, un modelo de cumplimiento penitenciario, que el sheriff (el borracho) Gerald Couch lleva años renovando. Sin embargo, hay cosas que podemos hacer ahora mismo para que nuestra propia comunidad sea más segura y para cuidarnos unos a otros. ¡Cuando el Estado nos falla, nos protegemos unos a otros!

La Junta de Comisionados del condado de Hall aprobó una moratoria sobre los centros de datos y de detención, que expira en agosto. Hemos pedido a la comunidad que vayan a las próximas juntas del condado y de los gobiernos locales para exigir la PROHIBICIÓN tanto de los centros de datos como de los de detención en los respectivos municipios.

La presentación incluye un calendario con todas las reuniones de los gobierno locales y del condado.
