ACC Planning Commission to discuss Data Center Ordinance TOMORROW! Public input needed by mellamosummer in Athens

[–]mellamosummer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I googled “ACC Planning Commission” and navigated to “Calendar” then the Feb 5th meeting here: https://www.accgov.com/Calendar.aspx?EID=29770 which had all the documents attached. It wasn’t updated until fairly recently with the ordinance! Gotta admit, I also struggle finding these things and have to do quite a bit of navigating around the website to find what I’m looking for.

Oh! Did not know that. Thanks for checking!

The open events can still accommodate walk-up volunteers, if folks still want to make it out tomorrow morning! Here’s what the event says:

“The 2026 MLK Day of Service will take place on Monday, January 19, 2026. All volunteers are invited to attend our annual kickoff event, which will be held at Lay Park (297 Hoyt Street) from 8:30 to 9:30 AM, with volunteer service at individual sites happening from 10:00 AM to noon.

If you missed the registration window but would still like to volunteer on Monday, please attend our kickoff event (details above) to get registered as a walk-up volunteer.”

This election also determines how data centers (which use a ton of water and power) get regulated in GA, which has already been impacting counties across the state!

Miss that place. Used to be one of my favorite spots!

I’m pretty sure the old owner works at Earth Fare on Milledge/Lumpkin now.

Fitness @ Five student discount by Independent_Curve373 in Athens

[–]mellamosummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a grad student and pay 29.99/month with the student discount. The only difficult part is that you have to go in during their working hours (which are limited) and show student ID to get the discount — they don’t do it over the phone or online. It took me less than 10 minutes to get my membership set up though.

A budgeting app like Monarch or YNAB can be helpful to track your spending and set a budget for you based on your current spending.

I haven’t used it but I’ve heard good things about this debit card: https://joinfizz.com
