Summary
Dorsey Hager, executive secretary-treasurer of the Columbus Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council, breaks down Governor DeWine’s surprise suspension of Ohio’s data center sales tax exemption, delivers an encouraging Intel project update and discusses record apprenticeship applications across central Ohio’s building trades Locals. With 20 million work hours projected for 2026 and close to 4,000 tradespeople expected on the Intel site by the end of next year, the Silicon Heartland is booming — and Hager wants to make sure nothing gets in the way of keeping it that way.
