• Google picks Columbia County for data center with local hiring pledge (augustachronicle.com) — Google has chosen Columbia County’s White Oak Technology Park for a major data center, pledging to hire locally and partner with area schools, colleges, and Fort Gordon. County leaders say the project should strengthen the tax base, support schools and roads, and eventually ease property tax pressure on nearby residents, including those in Evans. 
• Peachtree Road Race Win for Evans' Lili Beemer Comes After Dramatic Finish (wrdw.com) — An Evans High School runner, Lili Beemer, just captured her division win at Atlanta’s famed Peachtree Road Race after a dramatic last‑second surge.
