Piqua Voters Ban Data Center Construction via Charter Amendment
What happened
Piqua voters passed a charter amendment that prohibits the construction of a data center within the city. In a separate special election, voters recalled three city commissioners who had supported the controversial project. Damon Wilson was elected to replace one of the recalled commissioners.
