Packet: Irwin Forward Datacenter Public Hearing, Ocilla-Irwin County Planning Advisory Commission 2026-02-26

The Public Hearing on the proposed Special Exception for the Irwin Forward Data Center is tonight at 6 PM, in Ocilla, we hear at the Courthouse, before the Ocilla-Irwin County Planning Advisory Commission.

Here, in response to a WWALS open records request, is the agenda and the application for the Special Exception, which includes two maps.

Also received is a long deck of slides from Abernathy Development Company, mostly about specific customers.

These documents do not answer questions such as who is the datacenter customer (Google?), where are the specifications for the closed loop cooling water system, and what would those 200-300 high-paying local permanent jobs be doing, that were advertised in the slides for Irwin Forward Tech Park.
