Happy Dog Takes On The Demand of Data Centers

For several years, data centers have been touted as the next frontier of economic development. Household names like Meta, Amazon, and Google are home to some of these centers, and the rising consumer demand for digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence has also contributed to the growth. Ohio is now home to roughly 200 of these facilities. These centers have generated an increased demand for energy resources and a fight over who will pay for the infrastructure and costs. And at the core of the debate are concerns over environmental impacts. What are the facts and common myths behind these data centers? And is Ohio prepared for these new demands on energy and water sources?

Join us at the City Club as we hear from local experts on how we can support responsible economic development, while protecting our natural resources and communities.
