Man at City Council Meeting Makes Devastating Case Against Proposed Local Data Center

At a Ravenna, Ohio city council meeting, Will Hollingsworth spoke against a proposed data center project.

The council then voted for a 12-month moratorium on new data center construction in the area.

The decision reflects rising local opposition to AI infrastructure over water use, power demand, and environmental impact.

The debate highlights the tension between promised economic gains and concerns about quality of life and utility costs.
