“The Columbia County Board of Commissioners is aware of the concerns raised by residents regarding the proposed White Oak Technology Park data center project, and we appreciate the passion our community shows for preserving the quality of life in Appling and across the county. We are committed to responsible development that benefits all residents while protecting our environment and resources.
