Source for Hampton’s population (~9,200), the convergence of Equinix, Henderson Farms, and Hampton Technology Park projects, and the city’s February 2026 moratorium on new annexation/data-center zoning requests (which does not reach projects already filed and under construction). This article names the city manager as Jeff Baker, which conflicts with a WSB-TV piece attributing statements to Alex Cohilas in the same role — unresolved; the essay does not name either official directly pending confirmation of the current officeholder.
