Data center developments spark discussion

Data center developments are a highly debated topic in Ohio's Mahoning Valley, driven by concerns over water usage and rising electricity costs. While Zaharris is advancing a data center project in Yellow Creek Township, Columbiana County, Warren City Council members have proposed a moratorium on data centers within city limits. A local tech firm owner discusses how companies are addressing water issues and the state's role in electricity costs, warning of potential economic losses from a statewide ban.
