Keisha Lance Bottoms on Technology

 

 


Pause on the construction of new data centers

Q: How do you plan to address the data center issue and the hyperscale power plants that are being planned?

JACKSON: I wouldn't approve a data center unless three things happen. Number one, the community absolutely approves it. period. Number two, that it has strict EPA standards. and number three, that each person in the community gets a benefit of a reduction of their power bill and their property taxes.

BOTTOMS: I have called for a pause on the construction of new data centers. Georgia is currently number one in the country for data centers. We need to pause. We need experts in this field to sit around the table and tell us and give us guidance as to how Georgia should move forward. My opponent has invested in at least four companies that builds and constructs data centers. Right now. in Buoy, Texas, there is a community asking him to not build a data center and he is moving forward. So if he is an investor in data centers, if he builds data centers, he cannot be trusted on this.

Develop transit-oriented development housing projects

Bottoms will form a new Working Group with the Department of City Planning and MARTA to accelerate transit-oriented development projects, including a robust commitment to affordable housing at those new developments, in order to house working families directly on MARTA lines, reducing the need for parking and the cost of commuting.
