Ashville Village Council considers resolution to re-visit and approve EdgeConneX annexation

The Ashville Village Council is considering a $102 million offer from data center company EdgeConneX to approve the annexation of a 195-acre property for a data center and natural gas power generation facility. The village council previously voted down the annexation, but EdgeConneX has presented a new resolution with additional financial incentives for the village, school district, and local fire department. The resolution is being voted on as an emergency measure to block future referendums.
