A new data center has been proposed in American Township, but some residents are voicing their concerns. On Monday night at the American Township Board of Trustees meeting, details were shared on a possible nearly 163-acre data center occupying land along Cole Street north of Bluelick Road. Proposed construction includes 3 data center units with a main office building, a security office, mounding areas, 2 water basins, and an AEP substation. After the proposal was shared, several American Township residents addressed the board of trustees with concerns about this potential data center.

A bill that will help new and retired farmers will soon go into effect after being signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Ohio Representative Susan Manchester says that the "Beginning Farmer Tax Credit Bill" will create a credit for retiring farmers who sell or rent their lands and resources to new farmers who complete a financial course.
