• Mitchell County group fights NextEra Energy project (albanyherald.com) — Mitchell County commissioners meeting in Camilla approved rezoning 300 acres from agriculture to industrial use, prompting a citizen-led effort to block what opponents believe will be a large NextEra data center. Local organizer Lauren Dorminey and supporters are gathering thousands of signatures for a recall election, arguing the project threatens nearby homes, farmland, water resources, and long-term property values across the Camilla area.
