Updates, newest first

  1. Aug. 27, 2026 Savannah's council cited planned data center construction in neighboring Effingham County when it adopted a moratorium. (WTOC, Aug. 27, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • HIGH PRIORITY TO VERIFY: search-result headlines (GPB, Atlanta News First, The Current, July 22, 2026) say OpenAI plans a $20 billion campus here; others (WTOC, WALB, Baxtel, Aug. 27-30, 2026) say the PSC approved a Georgia Power-OpenAI contract, reported as 3.2 GW; Effingham Herald says a DRI ('Project Camellia') and site plan review come next. None of these pages could be opened because WebFetch was rate-limited, so none of these facts are entered as fields.
