Ohio residents launch petition to halt Meta’s 32-acre expansion, warning of a ‘land grab’

  • Middleton Township trustees voted to rezone 31.82 acres for Meta’s data center expansion, sparking opposition from residents concerned about the impact on the community.

Opposition to Meta’s data center complex in Middleton Township, Ohio, is growing after town trustees went against the zoning commission’s recommendations and made way for the project.

For those opposing the move, the dispute is about more than the 32 acres slated for Meta’s data center expansion. It is also about whether local communities get a meaningful say before large industrial projects reshape nearby roads, air, water, and neighborhoods.
