Summary
Amazon’s push to build a new data center in southwest Ohio is sparking fierce local resistance as two townships fight Trenton’s annexation plan, fearing traffic chaos, road maintenance nightmares, and stormwater runoff — all while wielding limited legal power under Ohio’s annexation laws. Trenton’s fast-track economic development route could lock in the deal if county commissioners approve it by October 15, leaving townships powerless to appeal. Meanwhile, Amazon’s $5 million community grants haven’t convinced them yet — they’re demanding stronger protections and clear responsibility for infrastructure. A looming November vote on a potential data center ban adds another layer of tension: if the land stays outside city limits, the ban might not apply — making this a high-stakes battle between growth promises and community safety.
