His concerns are water use, environmental use and quality of life.

Another resident questioned rebuilding his home in the neighborhood after hurricane impact.

Two town halls

Earlier this year, WTXL news (Tallahassee, FL) reported on not one but two lively town halls in Valdosta, GA regarding the proposed data center on 720 acres. Rows of seats were filled by residents while others lined up along the walls to voice opposition in the commissioner's chambers.

The WTXL news journalist said that the debate over a proposed data center, after the first town hall, had emotions running high.

A second town hall was held in mid-April. The WTXL TV news journalist said the concerns about the proposed data center were even louder.
