The City of Griffin has agreed to sell up to five million gallons of water per day to the City of Hampton, as confirmed by City Manager Jessica O'Connor during a commission meeting. O'Connor clarified that Griffin will not have any control over how Hampton utilizes this water. The announcement followed concerns from Spalding County Commissioner James Dutton, who expressed dissatisfaction with the contract, suggesting that the water may be used for a proposed data center located on 603.56 acres near Lower Woolsey Road and adjacent to the Echo Park Speedway.
