Camden County meeting roundup: moratorium, retraction and procurement approvals
Summary
The Camden County Board of Commissioners approved a six-month moratorium on data-center permitting in unincorporated areas, issued a retraction to a previously published legal notice, approved IGSA lighting contracts with Kings Bay Naval Base, purchased radios for emergency response, accepted deed transfer of the old Woodbine School and authorized a one-year reduced debris rate for Brantley County fire recovery.
At its May 5, 2026 meeting, the Camden County Board of Commissioners took a series of formal actions across land-use, procurement and intergovernmental-service items.
Key votes and outcomes
- Moratorium on data centers (unincorporated Camden County): Approved. The board adopted a six-month temporary moratorium on permitting for new data centers in unincorporated Camden County and excluded sections 4–7 of the draft moratorium language from tonight’s approval. (Motion details recorded on the public record; no roll-call tally provided.)
- Retraction to legal notice: Approved. The board voted to issue a retraction to a previously published legal notice that the court found had been issued in error, correcting the public record.
- IGSA contract awards with Kings Bay Naval Base (Musco Sports Lighting): Approved. The board approved two Intergovernmental Support Agreement contract awards to Musco Lighting for parking-lot lighting replacement and athletic-field lighting replacement on Kings Bay Naval Base; county staff presented estimated expense and revenue figures during the discussion.
- Purchase of Harris radios (mobile command cache): Approved. The board authorized the purchase of 10 Harris radios to improve interoperability for mutual-aid operations; staff said the purchase would be funded by a State Homeland Security grant.
- Deed transfer — Old Woodbine School: Approved. The county approved returning the deed for the historic Woodbine elementary school to the Camden County Board of Education; existing agreements (including the opera’s occupancy) will remain in place.
- Solid Waste Authority — Brantley County disaster rate: Approved. The Solid Waste Authority approved charging Brantley County an in‑county construction-and-debris rate for fire-related debris (stated in the discussion as $18.21 per ton) for a one-year period, with monitoring and verification of loads to ensure they are disaster-related.
Several other routine items (easement to Georgia Power, minutes approvals, proclamations and employee recognition) were also approved on consent or by voice vote during the meeting.
