Xenia, Ohio Considers One-Year Ban on Data Center Construction
Xenia's city council is evaluating a one-year moratorium on data center construction amid community concerns. The measure aims to address local priorities and environmental impacts while awaiting relevant state legislation.

Xenia, Ohio, is contemplating a one-year ban on data center construction, with a public hearing scheduled for Thursday night at 6 p.m. City officials have not received development proposals but are proactively addressing community concerns about potential environmental impacts.
The proposed moratorium reflects worries about local resources and regulatory uncertainty. Ohio House Bill 646, which aimed to limit tax breaks for data centers while promoting sustainable practices, failed to pass in the recent legislative session. This situation may hinder economic opportunities for Xenia if not addressed adequately.
