Resident urges Hogansville to consider moratorium and transparency on data center agreements
Summary
A local resident asked the council to pursue code changes and a moratorium on data centers, citing non-disclosure agreements and referencing actions by LaGrange and Troup County; the council took no action at the meeting.
During the public comment period, Albert Prado of 700 East Main Street urged the council to adopt code amendments to regulate data centers and requested the council consider a moratorium on new projects. Prado referenced actions taken by the City of LaGrange and Troup County as precedents and said he had submitted an open records request to the City Manager for documents related to a data center project.
Prado also raised concerns about non-disclosure agreements associated with data center developments and argued that current local code lacks sufficient protections. The minutes record that no action was taken by the council at the meeting on Prado's requests.
Council members did not vote on the matter during this session and directed no immediate follow-up; staff may consider the issues as part of future code review or as requested by council direction.
