Amazon, Microsoft and Google have announced plans to end or phase out the use of nondisclosure agreements, commonly known as NDAs, with local governments involving data center projects.
Channel 2 Consumer Investigator Justin Gray previously obtained agreements between data center companies and Georgia governments that contained extensive redactions.
In one development agreement with the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, even the name of the company involved was blacked out.
Other records obtained by Channel 2 Action News Investigates included a nondisclosure agreement involving Microsoft.
