Marietta proposal would limit data centers to heavy industrial areas

The Marietta City Council is scheduled to hear a proposal that would regulate data centers on Thursday. Under the ordinance, data centers would be restricted to heavy industrial zoning areas and require a special land use permit. Because of the permit requirement, any data center looking to come to the city would need to come before the council for approval, rather than being automatically permitted under the zoning. According to the ordinance, additional review through the special land use permits is necessary for uses with an increased possibility of having a negative impact on surrounding properties or their value. If approved, data centers would join businesses including composting facilities, asphalt or concrete plants and automobile salvaging yards as heavy industrial properties requiring special use permits. The ordinance change also provides a specific definition of data centers: “Data center means a facility or structure, or portion thereof, used primarily for housing operating and maintaining servers, network equipment, data storage systems, and associated mechanical, electrical, and security infrastructures in support of electronic data processing, storage, management, or distribution for commercial, governmental or continuous 24-hour operations, and significant cooling requirements. The term includes hyperscale, colocation, enterprise and edge data centers but excludes server

Cobb NAACP celebrates leadership, progress at annual awards gala

MARIETTA — The Cobb County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People saw hundreds of chapter members, community leaders and supporters turn out for its annual Oscar Freeman Freedom Funds Award Gala on Saturday. Named for a Cobb County civil rights icon, the gala honors community members and organizations who’ve helped advance their mission and raises money to support the organization’s programming throughout the year. Jeriene Bonner-Willis, president of the Cobb NAACP, said the organization usually raises around $100,000 from the banquet. This year’s theme was “We The People,” celebrating the transformative contributions made by the Black community to civil rights and liberties. Bonner-Willis said the theme was especially meaningful because it came just days after former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms was elected as the first Black governor of Georgia. “We saw some historic things take place in our community that we are truly delighted about,” Bonner-Willis said. “Tonight is an opportunity for us to celebrate the work and to keep the work going.” Attendees and presenters reflected on the change the Cobb NAACP has helped facilitate, and looked ahead toward future goals they want to achieve using funds raised by the banquet.
