Rezoning Requests Approved for Data Center in Ohio

Rezoning requests for a data center outside Toledo, Ohio, have been approved. The land parcels are located in Oregon, a city in Lucas County east of Toledo. The Oregon City Council unanimously approved requests for seven land parcels totaling 20 acres to be rezoned from ‘Agricultural District’ to ‘Advanced Manufacturing District’. All parcels lie on either Corduroy or North Wynn Road.

Mayor Mike Seferian said that the data center projects would contribute an additional $20 million to the city’s general budget. “If everything goes well with this project, it would generate the same amount as the 2.25 percent payroll income tax. That is why it is such a big deal to us.”

“Everyone in the entire city would gain with the improvement or expansion of city services due to this enormous revenue stream addition to the city.”
