I'm not real crazy about the fitting or the way they soldered it, but freezing it is something I never thought of...

I am NOT IN FAVOR of this in our community. Here are the facts about where we are in the process.

Over the last several days, there has been a great deal of discussion on social media about a proposed AI data center in the Charleston community. I want to address that discussion with the facts as we know them today.

At this time, no specific project has been formally submitted to Bradley County for approval or denial. No application has been filed, no formal request has been made, and no vote on any specific facility is scheduled before the Planning Commission or the County Commission.

What is before the County Commission on Monday is a discussion about zoning rules and regulations as they relate to projects of this type. That discussion is about reviewing our current zoning framework and considering how the county should approach potential future development, not about approving or rejecting a particular project.

I understand why there are questions and concerns, especially from residents in the Charleston area. As both County Mayor and as someone who lives in that community, I take those concerns seriously. Quality of life, the character of the community, and the impact on surrounding property owners all matter and deserve careful consideration.

At the same time, we must also respect the rights of private property owners and the importance of following a fair, legal, and transparent process for any project that may one day be presented.

Right now, I would encourage everyone to focus on the facts and not speculation. There is a lot of misinformation and rumor circulating online, and I believe it is important to be careful, measured, and truthful about what is and is not happening.

If and when a specific proposal is formally submitted to the county, it should be evaluated through the proper public process, with the facts, details, and impacts clearly laid out for everyone to see. Until then, Monday’s discussion is about zoning considerations only, not a decision on a specific AI data center.

Out of an abundance of caution, and for the safety of the public and our employees, all Bradley County Government offices will be closed on Monday, February 2, due to continued hazardous road conditions.

While many main and state roads are clear, a large number of back roads and rural county roads remain iced over and unsafe for travel. With temperatures expected to stay below freezing until tomorrow afternoon, these areas are unlikely to improve until later in the day. Anything frozen now will likely remain frozen until then.

Please use caution if you must be out. County offices will reopen on Tuesday, February 3, for regular business hours. Stay safe and warm.
