Ohio residents push data center ban as $5bn Amazon project faces November 10 hearing
Residents in Butler County are rallying against the proposed Amazon data center, voicing worries over possible water shortages, noise pollution, and pollution from backup generators. Local zoning authorities have suggested prohibiting data centers in St. Clair Township, where this project is slated to occur. A crucial public hearing is set to address these issues alongside zoning matters. Recent trends show rising voter favor for restrictions on similar undertakings across Ohio.
