Why it matters
Augusta Township residents are concerned a data center could impact utility rates and reliability for local residents while bringing noise and air pollution.
Who’s making public decisions
Augusta Township voters will decide Aug. 4 whether to reverse the rezoning approval needed for the data center, while residents are collecting recall petition signatures that could put all board members on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.
