📰 News we're reading

• Developer inquires into Belfast Commerce Park for potential data center (bryancountynews.com) — A Georgia tech company is exploring a $150 million AI and high‑performance computing data center at Belfast Commerce Park in Richmond Hill, potentially bringing about 20 permanent jobs. Because data centers aren’t a listed use there, the project would need an appeal before the Board of Zoning Appeals and likely City Council approval, so residents may see this proposal come up at future public meetings.
   

• Football Recap: 15th Straight Home Win for Lowndes (maxpreps.com) — Lowndes High extended its home winning streak to 16 games with a dominant victory over Camden County and now turns its attention to facing Richmond Hill on October 23. For Richmond Hill fans, this sets up a major test against an undefeated Vikings team that has routinely won by large margins this season.
   

• SC, GA victims speak out following arrest in alleged travel agent scam (wtoc.com) — A Richmond Hill mother is among several families across the Southeast who say they lost thousands of dollars to a travel agent whose bookings allegedly never materialized.
