Paid press release submitted by Floyd County Libertarian Party
ROME — The Floyd County Board of Commissioners made a clear decision May 27, to disregard valid concerns brought to them by local community members. The community still has no idea what data is being stored in the new Atlas Development data center proposed in the Coosa area, nor whether county public services can handle the maintenance of it. Still, our local government decided to approve the project because of the property tax it would bring.
In the same meeting, the Floyd County Commission voted to prohibit a local small business owner from opening a new restaurant on Kingston Highway, but voted to allow this data center. Their priorities are clear: weaponize local zoning laws against everyday people but change the rules for people who pay extra into the county governmentÐÔÊӽ紫ý pocket.
We unequivocally condemn the Floyd County CommissionÐÔÊӽ紫ý decision.
