Aligned Data Centers is appealing Pataskala City Council's decision to reject a proposed 200-megawatt data center campus near Mink and Broad streets. The planned facility would include three buildings and was rejected after months of debate and opposition from residents concerned about the project's effects on their neighborhoods.
The appeal follows a council vote siding with opponents of the development. Pataskala residents may also vote on a potential data center ban in the November election, though city council members did not comment on whether the appeal could affect that proposal.
