OHIO DATA CENTERS

THE OHIO BALLOT BOARD IS MEETING TODAY TO REVIEW A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT REGARDING DATA CENTERS. 
A GRASSROOTS EFFORT TO BAN LARGE DATA CENTERS IN THE BUCKEYE STATE FACES A KEY STEP TODAY. THE OHIO BALLOT BOARD WILL REVIEW A PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. IF APPROVED, SUPPORTERS CAN START COLLECTING SIGNATURES TO TRY TO GET A BAN ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT. THEY WOULD NEED MORE THAN 400,000 VALID VOTER SIGNATURES FROM 44 OF OHIO'S 88 COUNTIES BY JULY 1ST.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: THERE ARE OVER 200 DATA CENTERS IN OHIO. CONCERNS ARE IN REGARD TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND PROPERTY VALUES.
