30 Georgia homes are being acquired via sale or eminent domain to expand power grid — one affected family member says it’s ‘for the data centers’

Electricity transmission towers.

The largest utility company in Georgia is conducting a massive upgrade of its grid, and part of this project requires the connecting its Ashley Park Substation to Plant Wansley, which is currently undergoing an upgrade. The 35-mile stretch between the two facilities will go through Fayette, Heard, Fulton, and Coweta Counties, and require the removal of 30 residential properties along its path, reports Fortune. This included Ansley Brown’s family home, who took to Instagram to share her story.
