Coweta County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday night to approve a 180-day moratorium on new data center applications while officials review the county's existing ordinance.

The county's five proposed data center projects are exempt because their applications were filed under the current ordinance and have vested rights under state law.

Traffic. Housing affordability. Community character.

Those were among the top concerns identified by more than 1,350 residents participating in Newnan's comprehensive planning process.

Survey results show residents want city leaders to focus on managing growth, improving transportation, preserving green space and encouraging redevelopment of existing properties rather than continued expansion.
