WHEELING, W.Va. — Community members will have an opportunity Tuesday evening to learn more about the proposed data center planned for Warwood and discuss its potential impact on Ohio County.
The event, titled “Fight for Oversight,” is being organized by Where We Go From Here WV in partnership with the WV Utility Impact Project and local residents.
The public forum is scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the third floor of Waterfront Hall, located at 1230 Water Street in Wheeling. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m., and admission is free.
Organizers say the meeting is intended to provide information about the proposed data center project, discuss concerns raised by residents and explain how West Virginia House Bill 2014 could affect similar developments across the state.
The forum is expected to include discussion about the approval process for large-scale data center projects, community oversight and the potential impact on local neighborhoods.
Democratic congressional candidate Ace Parsi is scheduled to attend, along with West Virginia Delegate Shawn Fluharty, who represents the state’s 5th House District.
Organizers encourage residents interested in the proposed project or its potential impact on Ohio County to attend the public discussion.
