Here in Ohio, we are engaging with our partners and decision-makers in Columbus and working to craft rules and regulations that will protect our state from the negative effects of data center development. Locally, we are engaging with communities to get ahead of those issues and establish firm land use guidelines for any future data center development and operation.
