• Tallapoosa approves annexation, rezoning of 1K acres (times-georgian.com) — Tallapoosa’s City Council has unanimously approved annexing and rezoning 1,000 acres for light industrial use with a new technology park overlay, despite strong public opposition focused on potential data centers and resource strain. Residents packed and overflowed City Hall, voicing concerns about water, electricity, and losing community control before many walked out chanting after the vote. Regular council meetings are held the second Monday each month at City Hall.
