Ohio Data Center Ban Falls Short
Description
Ohio’s push to ban new data centers via ballot amendment fizzles for now—Conserve Ohio missed the July deadline but isn’t quitting, aiming for 2027 with a 25-megawatt cap that would halt most modern facilities. Fueled by concerns over soaring energy and water use, the group’s effort mirrors growing local pauses and state proposals like HB 646, which could cut tax breaks—but not for existing deals. With nearly $1.6 billion in past exemptions, the fight continues as volunteers keep collecting valid signatures.
