Farms feed us. Data centers bleed us.

There's a data center planned for Shalersville, and on Friday, May 29, a state rep, the developer, and Shalersville council are holding an open house and Q&A at the site from 12 to 3 PM. A weekday afternoon, about a project that wants our power, our water, and our land.

We're going to make sure residents are part of that conversation. If you live there, go in and ask the hard questions. Everyone else, stand out front with us and your signs. We'll have folks there gathering petition signatures for the CONSERVE OHIO effort too.

Be there by 11:15 to 11:30 AM so we're visible as people arrive. We're still locking down parking and exact timing, so follow the event for the latest:

Share this with anyone who doesn't want out-of-state developers deciding the future of this county.
