How Chillicothe’s paper mill could become a data center

Chillicothe City Council initially passed a data center moratorium due to a proposal to convert the Pixelle paper mill into a tech hub, including a data center, by U.S. Paper Mill Company (USPM). The council later overturned the moratorium, citing economic opportunity. The data center project faces significant opposition from residents, with a petition garnering over 3,600 signatures.
