Mason County mobile home park residents given three months to relocate for new data center

Residents of a mobile home park in Mason County, Ohio, have been given a three-month deadline to vacate their homes as a Fortune 500 company plans to construct a data center on the site. Landlords are offering $20,000 for relocation, but residents face challenges due to Mason County's zoning ordinances, which restrict mobile homes to rural residential or agricultural areas. The company involved has not yet been identified, and county officials are still reviewing the project plans. In a separate development, Trenton city leaders in Butler County unanimously approved a site plan for a large data center, a decision made during a recent planning commission meeting. This approval comes despite community members expressing dissatisfaction and raising concerns about the potential impact of the data center on energy bills and local health. Construction for the Trenton project is already in progress, expected to generate over 100 jobs upon completion. The article also highlights other data center activities across the Greater Cincinnati area. In Clinton County, a court order has been issued, preventing Wilmington city leaders from taking further action on a proposed data center from Amazon Web Service. Additionally, officials in Mount Orab are considering reversing earlier zoning changes made to accommodate a data center, while a planned data center in Hamilton faces uncertainty after its developer paused feasibility studies.
