Rossford Planning Commission Approves Permit for Proposed Data Center

The Rossford Planning Commission has approved a special use permit for Florida-based Clever LLC to build a data center. The decision comes as petitioners are asking the city to put future data center projects before voters.

WTOL-TV’s Sophia Perricone reports that neighbors raised concerns about the project’s potential environmental effects and its impact on energy costs and property taxes.

Clever says the facility would be smaller than a hyperscale data center. Rossford Mayor Neil McKinnon compared its size to a Home Depot store.
