Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Data Center Information Session.

We’re sharing the recording of the evening’s conversation here for anyone who was unable to attend, as well as those who attended and would like to revisit the discussion.

We also want to share an additional resource referenced during yesterday’s program. Georgia Tech’s Energy Policy and Innovation Center (EPICenter) offers information and resources related to energy, power, and data center development:

https://epicenter.energy.gatech.edu/

For the Georgia Data Center Ordinance Hub, select “Southeastern Initiatives.”

Our goal with these sessions was to provide credible information, useful resources, and opportunities for our community to ask questions and better understand the issues surrounding data center development.

Thank you again to our speakers, our attendees, and everyone who submitted questions and engaged thoughtfully in these conversations. We appreciate our community’s participation and encourage you to watch or revisit the discussion below.

Infrastructure is more than roads and construction projects. It’s the network of transportation, utilities, broadband, water and other essential systems that businesses and communities rely on every day.

Strong, forward-looking infrastructure:

➡️ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆— helping employees, customers and products get where they need to go.

➡️ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 — from water and sewer to power and other systems businesses depend on to operate.

➡️ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 — connecting businesses, workers and residents through both physical and digital infrastructure.

➡️ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 — ensuring roads, utilities and public systems can keep pace as our community grows.

➡️ 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 — supporting economic opportunity while protecting the quality of life that makes Effingham County a great place to live and do business.

Through our Understanding the Issues series, we’re taking a closer look at the issues shaping Effingham County’s business environment and why they matter to our members and our community!
