With split vote, Middleton Township approves zoning change for acreage bordering data center

Middleton Township Trustees approved a rezoning request for 32 acres of land owned by Meta, changing it from residential/agricultural to M-1 industrial zoning for construction parking at the Meta data center site. The vote was split, with Trustee Melissa Petrea opposing the change due to resident concerns, while the Wood County Planning Commission also recommended rezoning another 39 adjacent acres. Residents voiced strong opposition and distrust regarding Meta's actions and the potential negative impacts on the community.

Fast-tracked power plants fuel AI boom, with little public scrutiny

Across the United States, dozens of off-grid natural gas power plants are being fast-tracked for approval with little public scrutiny to meet the booming electricity demands of data centers. These plants, like the Apollo Generating Station in Ohio serving Meta's data center, often bypass typical permitting, environmental studies, and public hearings. Residents are concerned about the environmental impact and lack of transparency, while developers use exemptions and shell companies to expedite approvals.
