Piqua Voters to Decide Proposed Data Center Ban and Commissioner Recalls
Piqua voters will decide a proposed city charter amendment that would prohibit data center construction, a measure placed on the ballot by the Save Piqua resident group in opposition to Meta's approved data center project. The election guide also covers separate recall elections targeting three city commissioners who supported the project.
Piqua voters will consider a proposed charter amendment on Nov. 3, 2026, that would ban data center construction in the city. Save Piqua, a resident group opposing Meta's data center project approved by the Piqua City Commission in November 2025, qualified the measure for the ballot through a petition campaign.
The data center dispute also prompted a separate special election on whether to recall three Piqua city commissioners. Petitioners cited concerns about public health, safety and welfare, while the commissioners have continued to support the project. The guide, compiled by This Local Life, also summarizes Miami County races, tax levies and other ballot measures.
