Says all data centers must meet conditions or not be allowedCOLUMBUS — Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton issued a statement on Monday announcing support for a conditional moratorium on data centers if requirements on costs, union labor, transparency, environmental standards, community benefit agreements and development are not met.
“As governor, I will take immediate action and support a conditional moratorium on data centers to ensure they cover one hundred percent of their utility costs, exclusively build with union labor, operate with full transparency, adhere to Ohio’s environmental standards, support the needs of local communities, and bring jobs to former industrial areas that have been left behind,” Acton, the Democratic nominee, said.
“Costs are too high, and Ohio families and businesses need protection from data centers driving up costs.
Ohio is open for business, but we are not up for sale.
If you do not meet these conditions, we do not want you in Ohio.”
