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

Emily Sollie making her own name with Gadsden City flag football

Growing up, Emily Sollie was stuck having to catch passes and run routes for her older brother, Sam. It worked out well for the now-junior quarterback for Gadsden City football as he's committed to Auburn. For a while, though, it seemed catching passes for Sam was just the kind of younger sibling duty that Emily got stuck doing. Then the siblings moved to Gadsden City and Emily had a chance to take all that knowledge and training and use it on the same football field Sam started starred on. She joined the Titans' flag football program ahead of the 2025 season. "I was really excited to the join the team, I though it was so much fun and it looks fun too," Emily Sollie said. Now, she's starting both ways at receiver and linebacker/safety for the Titans who ended the regular season 11-2 and took home the first region title in the program's four-year history. For her mom, Jenny Sollie, Emily's growth in flag football is just one of many ways she has seen her daughter grow since moving from Westbrook Christian. "It's so fun to watch her just bloom in her own ways," Jenny said. "She's really come into
