Gov: Urbana City Council

Urbana City Council in Ohio is taking steps to reverse zoning changes that would have facilitated the development of data centers. According to reports from our partners at WDTN, the council recently passed a resolution to roll back amendments made to the city's zoning code. This resolution effectively repeals an ordinance approved last December, which had permitted large-scale industrial projects, including data center developments, within the city.
