Ohio’s Data Center Landscape presentation from the Ohio Farmers Union Summer Meeting

At our Summer Meeting in July 2026, we were honored to have Molly Bryden, Climate & sustainability researcher, from Policy Matters Ohio present a report entitled Ohio’s Data Center Landscape.

“State and local legislators are responsible for making policy to ensure data center development benefits Ohio’s workforce and does not come at the expense of Ohio families, our grid stability, public resources, or environmental health. They are responsible for regulating data center development across the state, mitigating harms, and ensuring Ohioans have the power to determine what the data center landscape looks in their communities.”
