Residents in Oregon, Ohio, are actively pursuing a charter amendment to prevent a proposed data center project from moving forward. The group, known as United Neighbors of Oregon, recently addressed the city council to announce their efforts.
They are currently working to gather approximately 1,700 valid signatures by August 5th. Their goal is to successfully place the charter amendment on the ballot for a public vote, which they believe will help stop the data center. The group has expressed concerns about the potential long-term impact of the project on the community.
To aid in their signature collection, organizers are planning a public petition signing event at the Oregon Community Room. Additionally, a volunteer meeting will be held at the Oregon Ranch Library to coordinate efforts for collecting the necessary signatures.
