A 57-acre data center project could be coming to Maysville, and the city just canceled a special called meeting regarding the project.

The special called "Q&A" meeting was scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m., but was canceled last week.

Their reasoning? Because the information was already presented on May 18 and May 28, and public hearings were conducted months ago according to the city.

The city still plans to hold their regularly scheduled meeting on Monday.

Videos of the May informational sessions, posted by citizen Carissa Dawn Martin, showed a contentious back and forth between citizens and city officials.

"Our franchise tax from the city ... is in the neighborhood of ... $350,000," Mayor Richard Presley said at the meeting.

"Is that worth our kids' potential health?" a citizen asked.

"Yes it is," Presley replied.

The zoning had already been approved in January of 2025 according to the City of Maysville. The city still plans to host a meeting on Monday at 6 p.m.

A temporary permit exceedance has been resolved at the Flat Creek Water Reclamation Facility.

On Saturday, a pump at the facility malfunctioned which prevented final treatment. That led to a "higher-than-normal" discharge of total suspended solids.

The City of Gainesville estimates 541,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater was discharged for 90 minutes before being resolved.

The city says no impacts to Flat Creek are expected due to the pump failure. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division was contacted and will be reported to for monitoring for the next 12 months.
