Bipartisan Opposition Grows Against Data Center Plans in Ohio
What happened
A public health worker in central Ohio is opposing plans to transform farmland into a sprawling data center complex. The plans, which include 15 separate buildings with diesel generators and 24/7 industrial lighting, were not shared with her or her husband when they purchased their home. The public health worker is collaborating with Amanda Wasmus, a conservative Republican, to fight the project.
