Statesboro City Council Approves Rezoning for Data Center Project
What happened
The Statesboro City Council approved rezoning a 27-acre site from high-density residential to office and business use on August 18, 2026, for a data center project owned by 4AM Development LLC. Coastal Communities United and 11 citizens challenged the decision, but 4AM Development's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the zoning challenge on October 6. City officials are currently staying all action regarding the special-use permit for the project.
