Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

Florida companies seek data center zoning in Kingsland

A businessman based in Jacksonville, Fla. is seeking to rezone nearly 700 acres of Camden County land along Interstate 95 for a proposed industrial park which would allow data centers.

Two separate companies led by Kirk Tovey own the adjacent Camden parcels that currently have overhead power lines but not much other infrastructure. One area is located inside Kingsland city limits. For the other, Tovey is also seeking city annexation as part of the zoning application on the agenda for the May 4 meeting of Kingsland’s Planning and Zoning Board. 

Kingsland city staff have met with the developers twice and agree that the site is a desirable location for an industrial park, according to documents posted with the agenda.

The acreage owned by V V Farm Inc. and Sapling Farms LLC fronts Laurel Island Parkway and Interstate 95. Most was once Gilman Paper timberland.  

A satellite map of the Kingsland area shows about 700 acres along I-95 and Laurel Island Parkway.
Former timberland along Interstate 95 and Laurel Island Parkway in Kingsland could grow an industrial park and data center, if the city grants a rezoning request.

We know about the requests for rezoning from Agriculture Forestry to light industrial zoning and the name of the person behind the companies because the agency already posted its May 4 hearing agenda. The city council would also review any rezoning request.

Early posting of agendas gives residents time to understand their community’s public business — and to get in touch with their elected representatives. Agendas can help shed light when land is owned by shell corporations or out of state entities. 

At least 11 Georgia counties have passed prohibitions on data center developments. Glynn County commissioners earlier this month passed new zoning ordinances that would allow data centers there, despite residential opposition to the water- and power-gobbling industry.  

Our list of public meetings covers the next two weeks — if we’ve found an agenda already, click through to see what your elected officials are considering. Let us know how you use this calendar or how we can improve it at staff@thecurrentga.org.

This list starts with an automated collection that does not involve AI. It is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.
