Carroll officials more open to data center after visiting one in Alabama

Data centers have been front-and-center in both local and national debate, including just across the border in Virginia, where opposition to a proposed data center there has been widespread, including among some county officials. But a few county officials, along with residents, who generally opposed such centers may be changing their minds after several visited a Google-owned data center in Jackson County, Alabama. A public hearing regarding the recently adopted Emergency Data Center Ordinance occurred at the beginning of a recent Board of Supervisors meeting in Carroll County, with the goal of making the emergency ordinance permanent. The Data Center Ordinance was formulated to place restrictions on data centers locating in the county and includes limits to water consumption, noise pollution and places strict decommissioning requirements on facilities after they close. Delilah Brady spoke during the public hearing portion of the meeting and requested that the supervisors adapt the emergency data center ordinance and make it a permanent part of the county code. The Data Center Ordinance was subsequently adopted by a unanimous vote of the board. Google has expressed an interest in locating a data center on a piece of property owned by a private landowner near the Wildwood

Floyd County hires Rome’s Chris Jenkins as public works director

Rome Public Works Director Chris Jenkins is making the move to Floyd County to lead its Public Works Department as longtime director Michael Skeen prepares to retire. The Floyd County Commission approved Jenkins’ employment contract during its regular meeting Tuesday. The contract was not included on the original agenda but was added after commissioners returned from an executive session during caucus. County Manager Jamie McCord said Jenkins’ experience and familiarity with local government operations made him a strong candidate to take over the department. “I don’t think there’s any way we could have found someone more qualified than Chris Jenkins to take this position,” McCord said. Jenkins previously served as Floyd County’s facilities manager from February 2009 until December 2011, when he joined the City of Rome as street department director. At the time, McCord was overseeing that department as Rome’s public works director. McCord remained in that position until April 2013, when he left to become Floyd County manager. Jenkins later became Rome’s public works director, overseeing street maintenance, drainage, solid waste operations and other municipal services. Rome City Manager Sammy Rich said Wednesday that Jenkins’ departure caught him off guard. Rich learned of the decision Tuesday, shortly before
