Springfield's $1.3B data center brings economic hope — and environmental skepticism

5C Group's $1.3 billion data center in Springfield, Ohio, is nearing completion of its first phase but faces environmental concerns from residents. Locals cite worries about energy use, diesel generators, and noise, leading to efforts to amend the city charter and a statewide ban on hyperscale data centers. The city commission has enacted a temporary six-month moratorium on new hyperscale data centers due to community resistance.
