• Hundreds Pack OpenAI Data Center Meeting in Effingham (effinghamherald.net) — Effingham County residents, including at least one from Guyton, packed a Rincon meeting to press OpenAI about its proposed $20 billion, 1,400-acre data center campus and its impacts on water, noise, and schools. Many attendees criticized the short notice and what they see as secrecy around Project Camellia, while others welcomed potential jobs and economic growth. Questions about environmental effects and transparency remain unresolved.
