Prairie Township Community Center, 5955 W. Broad St.
If you love the Darby Creek please show up and show your concern. Even if you are not from Prairie Township, we are hoping to make it clear to our township trustees that this area is of value to our entire central Ohio community and beyond. Our trustees have put in place a six-month moratorium, but what comes next is uncertain. Also, there are ways around that moratorium which is why I have multiple things for you to do.
People are resisting data centers all over our state and country and we certainly have more than our share already in the Central Ohio area. And, when one of these centers is proposed in your area it gets personal. It’s personal for me.
Because this proposed data center is in the Darby Creek Accord area, and the Darby Accord was created to protect the Big Darby from over-development, we are somewhat hopeful AND not taking anything for granted. And because the Darby Accord is an agreement between multiple cities and counties, there are lots of ways to affect what happens here.
Please make calls or show up if you can.
