The Logistic Land Investments LLC planned 18-building data center campus near Rock Mountain Lake Road in Jefferson County has been approved by the planning and zoning commission despite concerns from local residents.
The site requires a zoning change from agricultural to industrial. Thus far, the planning and zoning commission has voted 4-2 to approve the recommendation. The proposal will now be sent to the city council for a final decision.
Marshall Killingsworth, a resident of Jefferson County for more than 40 years, said: “We are dealing with noise, we are dealing with pollution. This particular land is rich, filled with ecology, we’re talking about natural watersheds, we’re talking about little blue creeks [which] run through it. We’re talking about a habitat for deer, turkey, you name it.”
