Acworth approves yearlong pause on data center projects

During this week’s Acworth Board of Aldermen meeting, the board approved a 12-month data center moratorium. City Manager James Albright said staff recommended the moratorium’s approval to give the city time to review how city ordinances apply to data center facilities. “We feel it best to evaluate our existing ordinance against best practices on these facilities as there can be impacts to public services and our power utility,” he said. He acknowledged communities across the nation are concerned about negative local impacts surrounding data centers. Albright also noted Cobb County previously passed a data center moratorium. Cobb commissioners passed a six-month data center moratorium extension in August, set to expire either in February or when the county amended its ordinance surrounding data centers. The county amended its ordinance and established new regulations in October. “Moratoriums cannot be indefinite, and over the next 12 months we will start to dive into this issue and look into it more,” Albright said. Alderman Steve Prather said he believes a moratorium on data centers is a good move for the city. “Acworth is not in a position, from a space perspective, to have a lot of room to have the kind of data centers,

North Cobb's Belyeu, Marietta's Whiteside lead explosive offenses into regular season finale

Marietta has likely secured a playoff spot, but a victory on Friday could mean opening the playoffs at home. If the Blue Devils can slow down North Cobb’s ground attack Friday at Northcutt Stadium, they stand a better chance at coming away victorious. “We know how talented North Cobb is, and there are a lot of implications when it comes to the playoff picture,” Marietta coach Cameron Duke said. “We’re trying not to think about that, but we know the implications are there.” There is one challenge in slowing down the Warriors’ running attack. Marietta (6-3, 4-2) will be going up against one of the top running backs in in the state in Zach Belyeu, who is known for both power and speed. For the season, Belyeu has 1,372 yards on 155 carries and 18 touchdowns for the Warriors (7-2, 5-1). “(Beyleu’s) preparation is unmatched by many peers,” North Cobb coach Shane Queen said. “The way he works in the weight room and at practice is a generational thing. It seems like every time he touches the ball and gets out in the open, he runs for a touchdown.” In North Cobb’s 35-21 win over Etowah last week, Belyeu nearly

Cherokee County approves intersection improvement project

Improvements are coming to a congested intersection in east Cherokee County. On Tuesday, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to award a $1,754,149 construction services agreement to R&B Developer, Inc. to improve the intersection of Holbrook Campground Road and Midway Road. This intersection is located about two miles south of Highway 20 in eastern Cherokee County. Holbrook Campground Road is a two-lane roadway that runs between Highway 20 and the Fulton County line. Midway Road is a two-lane roadway that runs between Holbrook Campground Road, eventually becoming Windward Parkway in Fulton County. The intersection is a "badly skewed 'T' intersection" with a single stop on Midway Road, according to the county, and experiences congestion in the peak periods in the morning and afternoon. This project will "correct intersection geometry," change the through movement to Midway Road and make stormwater drainage improvements, Cherokee County Manager Geoff Morton said Tuesday. Construction is expected to be completed about 180 days after the notice to proceed is issued to the contractor. The project is funded by Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax funds and is the first capital improvement project to be constructed under the referendum, Morton said. "We started receiving

Powder Springs approves development with 251 apartments, 24 townhomes

The Powder Springs City Council unanimously approved a development with 251 apartments and 24 townhomes during this week's council meeting. The development, proposed by Wood Partners, sits on 14.65 acres at the intersection of Lewis and Oglesby roads, near C.H. James Parkway. Kenneth Wood with Planners and Engineers Collaborative, representing the project, said the developers met with nearby residents to help shape the plan and decreased apartment height. Plans for the development include two separate residential areas. One side of the property is set to hold 251 multi-family units in four four-story buildings, with 5,200 square feet of amenity space, including a pool. The other half of the property will have 24 two-story townhomes. Between both residential areas, the proposal includes a 17,000-square-foot public park. For the apartment units, 384-parking spaces are proposed. Each townhome would have a two-car garage with space for two additional cars in each driveway. Designs for the property, which backs up to the nearby Springbrooke Estates subdivision, includes a 30-foot landscape buffer, as well as a six-foot fence. A natural tree buffer along a creek, which bisects the property, is included. The development requires a homeowners association. The council approved the development with 13 stipulations,

Lassiter putting final touch on best season since 2013

Lassiter can secure its best regular season in 13 years and a possible first-round state playoff home game when it goes on the road for its season finale against Rome in a battle of Region 6AAAAAA teams. With a win, Lassiter (7-2, 4-2) -- which is headed to the state playoffs for the first time since 2016 -- would achieve an eighth regular-season for the first time since 2012 and put itself in position to secure a home game for the first round. It would be the first postseason game at Frank Fillmann Stadium for the Trojans since 2013. “I think more than anything, we’re trying not to just sit here and focus on outcomes, but just trying to get better every single day,” Lassiter coach Sean Thom said. “I think our kids aren’t dumb – that’s the one thing about being at a place like Lassiter, they’re aware of kind of what they’ve accomplished. But I think it shows a growing trend of the hard work that they’ve put in. This senior class is going to be highly thanked, because they’ve really helped put this thing in place. When you combine their class with some of the talent in

Democrats take control of Cobb school board

The slim majority Republicans held on the Cobb County Board of Education was wiped out Tuesday when voters ousted a longtime GOP member. Why it matters: Michael Garza's victory gives Democrats a 4-3 majority and ends the GOP's last foothold in Cobb County. The latest: Garza, whose children attend Cobb County schools, defeated incumbent David Chastain with 55% of the vote. He told Axios he approached his campaign with the message that "this is bigger than just one race and bigger than just one person." He said people have long wanted change for various reasons, ranging from reports of students experiencing racism and antisemitism in the classroom to parents' frustration that their children with disabilities were not getting the services they needed. "To know that those people now see hope that we're going to address those issues and have those honest conversations about really what matters to their families and what matters in our classrooms just means everything to me," he said. What they're saying: Heather Tolley-Bauer is a co-founder of grassroots organization Watching the Funds – Cobb, which for the last five years has been documenting and criticizing spending choices approved by the board. Tolley-Bauer told Axios she hopes
