Ohio group fundraises to oppose data center in Scioto Township
The "No Data Centers" group in Scioto Township, Ohio, is hosting a fundraiser to support its efforts against a potential data center development. The group is actively campaigning for a statewide constitutional amendment to limit data center sizes and has formed a zoning committee to establish local regulations.
The "No Data Centers" community group in Scioto Township, Ohio, is actively raising funds to counter an unconfirmed report about a major high-tech company planning a data center in their area. The group, which holds regular community meetings, is concerned about the potential impact of such a development and has noted that landowners have been contacted regarding land sales.
In addition to local efforts, the "No Data Centers" group is spearheading a statewide petition drive in Ohio. This initiative aims to amend the State Constitution to impose limitations on the size of new data centers built across the state. Furthermore, a Township Zoning Committee was established in May to investigate and potentially implement a comprehensive zoning plan for Scioto Township, which could regulate data center construction. The upcoming fundraiser on July 11 at the Scioto Township Firehouse seeks to financially support these ongoing opposition and regulatory efforts.
