Litigation concerning EdgeConneX's data center project in Ashville, Ohio, is ongoing. Two amici curiae, Data Center Resistance and Pickaway Informed Voters, filed memoranda opposing the motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by Ashville Fiscal Officer April Grube. Data Center Resistance specifically requested the court honor the residents' right to a referendum, despite the local ordinance being declared an emergency.
Why it matters
The legal challenges and public opposition directly impact the regulatory and operational viability of EdgeConneX's data center project in Ashville.
