Multiple residents scheduled to oppose 'Project Ruby' hyperscale data centers in Muscogee County

According to the council agenda, a large group of residents and community representatives were scheduled to speak during the public agenda on March 24, 2026 about data centers and Project Ruby. The agenda lists multiple commenters who explicitly described their topics as "Project Ruby," "Hyperscale Data Center Proposal," or "Data Center" (for example, Ms. Tracy Doughty, Mr. Ernest Washington, Mr. Mick Etchison, Mrs. Darlene Laird, Mrs. Sandra Turner, Ms. Amy Spencer, Mr. Ric Rivera, and others). Some speakers were listed as representing organizations (for example, Rev. Mark Lawrence representing IMA and Dr. Natalie Nicole representing Role Model Academy of Arts), and the agenda indicates at least two items were rescheduled from the March 10 meeting.
