Walker County Data Center Study Group | Chattanooga News

Walker County is launching a bold new chapter in its data center strategy, forming a community-driven study group to shape future regulations. Made up of local leaders and appointees, this committee will examine existing ordinances, assess neighborhood impacts, and tackle key concerns like noise, lighting, and environmental effects. Their first meeting is open to the public on Thursday, August 27th, at 3 PM at the Walker County Civic Center in Rock Spring, Georgia — and they’ll meet every other Thursday. While a temporary moratorium on new data center permits in unincorporated areas remains in place until February 2027, this group’s work will lay the foundation for balanced, thoughtful growth as the county navigates this critical development wave.
