A significant concern is arising within our community regarding the proposed land use change from Agriculture (A-1) to Business Park Development (BPD) for the construction of a Data Center on Barnsley Garden Road (Z-25-00006). This is due to occur on April 28, 2025, in Bartow County, Georgia. As the stewards of our environment, it is our responsibility to protect our agricultural lands due to the essential role they play in sustaining biodiversity, offering fresh produce, and contributing to our local economy. Agricultural lands are rapidly diminishing, with an estimated 11 million acres of farmland and ranchland converted to urban and highly developed uses between 2001 and 2016, according to the American Farmland Trust. This potential land use change poses a significant threat to our local community and ecology, disrupting the natural balance our community enjoys. We cannot afford such a drastic alteration. We urge our local county authorities to reconsider this proposed change and preserve the integrity of our agricultural lands. Act now, voice your opposition to this proposed change, and protect our environment. Please sign this petition.
