A $10 billion Butts County megaproject site along I-75 owned by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ father is now envisioned to include data centers. The plan centers on a 450,000-square-foot hospital, but computer storage warehouses are envisioned to comprise the bulk of the project site along I-75. The project could include up to 11 million square feet of data centers, which is as much floor space as seven Lenox Square malls.

Craig Miller, one of the champions behind Georgia’s film tax credit and the larger statewide industry, died Sunday at 69. Miller had been a mainstay in Georgia’s film industry since 1985, when he founded his eponymous production outlet, Craig Miller Productions. “Georgia is mourning the loss of a giant in the entertainment industry — an industry that took root here and employed many hardworking people of our state because of his vision and contributions,” said Gov. Brian Kemp in a statement. Read more about Craig's life 🕊️: https://lnkd.in/ehgSZRTR

Mathew Palmer is one of a number of Delta employees who were affected by the company’s fast and public response to Charlie Kirk-related posts. Delta Air Lines sees social media posts like the one Palmer wrote on September 10, 2025 as unacceptable. But Palmer, a longtime flight attendant who sees himself as a Delta loyalist, can’t accept how he was fired for it. The Facebook post was up for less than an hour, Palmer said. But it was quickly screenshotted and shared. Re-posts identified him as a Delta flight attendant, which his Facebook profile did not disclose. Demands for his firing started to flow in via comments and direct messages. So did death threats, he said. Delta has a 15-page social media policy that warns employees, contractors and retirees that even private posts can be shared and traced back to Delta. “What I saw was Delta is, in fact, a corporation, and your voice is as good as it is, as long as it is good to them,” Palmer said. A Delta spokesperson declined to comment further for this article. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eSsXBVTr

In five years, The Home Depot's 12-foot skeleton named "Skelly" has become a seasonal sensation with a cult following across metro Atlanta and the country. While Home Depot won’t say how many Skellys are sold a year, some superfans stay up all night to score its latest merchandise for the holiday. Skelly, which costs $299, often sells out. More people are buying Halloween decorations than costumes, according to the National Retail Federation. This year, 78% of Halloween shoppers are expected to purchase decor, up from 72% in 2019. Total spending on decorations could reach $4.2 billion this year, an increase of $1.6 billion from 2019.

Delta Air Lines hosted its annual party for employees and their families at a larger-than-usual venue this year: Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This year is the airline's centennial, so in an amped-up version of its annual Boulevard Bash, Delta rented out the stadium and let the free food and drink flow. Instead of just one headliner (previous names have included Pitbull, One Republic and Zac Brown Band), this year’s daylong celebration featured three with Georgia ties: Ludacris, Thomas Rhett and Yacht Rock Revue.

Farming is a game of inches where minuscule changes separate winners from losers. Planting seeds slightly too close together will turn two neighboring crops into lifelong competitors fighting for the same sunlight. Expensive fertilizer needs to find the roots of healthy crops, not parasitic weeds. Misjudging when to harvest can waste an entire growing season. But that is starting to change because of rapid advances in farming technology, an effort being led by one of Georgia’s largest companies. Farm equipment makers like Duluth-based AGCO Corporation and technology companies are pouring billions into automation and artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of farms and minimize their environmental impact. “We give farmers choices that they’ve never had available to them before,” said Andrew Sunderman, general manager of PTx Trimble, a precision agriculture portfolio. “We give farmers a choice of what technology do they use to fit their needs.” More on Georgia’s push toward smart farming: https://lnkd.in/eGxGAt3c

Next month, barrier-breaking ballerina Misty Copeland will grace a different kind of stage — the TEDNext main stage in Atlanta, conference organizers told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview. TED, which stands for technology, entertainment and design, is a global family of conferences and educational content. While the main TED Conferences focus on the future of the world, TEDNext is focused on helping attendees look inward at their own future. Copeland’s TED talk comes as the dancer is entering a new phase in her life. In 2015, she became the first Black woman to be a principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. Now, she is retiring at the end of October after 25 years with the company. Read more about Copeland's TEDNext debut: https://lnkd.in/eZAEAXVX
