Help every neighbor have a voice

Write the County Commissioners

They decide the rezoning for the airport land.

Your note I live in Candler County, and I am writing about the proposed data center campus next to the Metter-Candler Airport (DRI #4846). Please reconsider a data center this large next to our airport. Before any vote, I ask the commissioners to set clear size and siting rules for data centers, and to hold any hearing, and any later reading or vote, only on this project with nothing else on the agenda, in a room big enough for every neighbor who wants to come, and to give us extended time to speak. Thank you for listening. [Your name] [Your neighborhood]

Sends to the County Administrator at BAasheim@candlerco-ga.gov, and asks him to pass it to the Chairman and each Commissioner. The county’s own notice lists boc@candlerco-ga.gov, but that address rejected an email we sent from outside the county, so we do not use it. You can also call the county at 912-685-2835. Names are from the county’s Board of Commissioners page, checked November 4, 2026.

Write the Metter City Council

They decide what happens inside the city, including the Fortner Road land and Hiawatha Street.

Your note I live in Metter or Candler County, and I am writing about data centers coming to our area, including the Fortner Road land across I-16 that the city is bringing in. Please reconsider data centers this large inside Metter. Before any decision, I ask the council to hold a full hearing, and any later reading or vote, only on this project with nothing else on the agenda, in a room big enough for every neighbor who wants to come, and to give us extended time to speak. Thank you for listening. [Your name] [Your neighborhood]

This goes to the City Clerk at aconner@cityofmetterga.gov and asks her to pass it to the Mayor and the Council.

How the buttons work

On a computer, a Gmail window opens with your email already written. On a phone, your mail app opens. Either way you press send, and we never see your message. If you use a different email service, use the “Copy this note” button and paste it into a new email.

Good to know

• Emails to county and city officials can become public records, so write only what you are comfortable seeing in public. You do not need to give your street address.
• Kind and clear works best. A short, calm note is heard more than a long angry one.
• Your own words count for more than ours, so please change the note to sound like you.
• To speak at a hearing, sign up at least 7 days ahead. See the next meetings.
