Oregon residents push amendment effort to halt proposed data center
A group of Oregon residents, "United Neighbors of Oregon," is actively working to collect 1,700 signatures by August 5th to place a charter amendment on the ballot. The amendment aims to halt a proposed data center project in the city, addressing concerns about its long-term impact on the community.
Residents of Oregon, Ohio, are mobilizing to prevent a proposed data center project from moving forward in their community. The group, known as United Neighbors of Oregon, addressed the city council, outlining their efforts to gather approximately 1,700 valid signatures by August 5th.
Their objective is to secure a spot for a charter amendment on the upcoming ballot, which they believe will address community concerns regarding the data center's long-term effects. A spokesperson for the group emphasized their determination to "keep the data center out of Oregon" and urged broader community support.
To facilitate the signature collection, organizers have planned a public petition signing event for Wednesday at the Oregon Community Room. Additionally, a volunteer meeting is scheduled for tomorrow at the Oregon Branch Library to enlist more help in the signature-gathering initiative.
