As reported by the Ohio Capital Journal, the proposed amendment would prohibit building data centers with a peak load of more than 25 megawatts per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple state, regional and local building trades leaders have urged members and their families not to sign the petition, which could ultimately cost the state thousands of construction jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Central Ohio: 40 Percent of Work Hours Come From Data Centers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For affiliated members of the Columbus\/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council, data center construction has led to a boom in work hours, helping make Central Ohio one of the nation&#8217;s top construction markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appearing on Fox Business Channel&#8217;s The Bottom Line on May 29, C\/COBCTC Executive Secretary-Treasurer Dorsey Hager told host Brian Brenberg that 40 percent of the work performed within the Council&#8217;s jurisdiction comes from data center construction and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSince 2023, the hours worked in our nine-county jurisdiction by our 23,000 members has tripled,\u201d Hager said. \u201cThe recent job creation and growth have been supported by the boom we have seen in data centers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northeast Ohio: More Than 1,000 Jobs on the Line in Canton<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Canton Repository reported on an April Canton City Council meeting where East Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council President Brett McElfresh, who is also the Business Manager of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/plumbersandpipefitterslocalunion94.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UA Local 94<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and ECOBCTC Vice President and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibew540.org\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IBEW Local 540<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Business Manager Erik Hann discussed the construction of a proposed Amazon data center in Perry Township.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project will create more than 1,000 jobs for members of the area&#8217;s building trades over the next four to six years. Hann stressed that the maintenance and upgrade work is also important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Even after they&#8217;re done, we never leave,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gov. DeWine Pauses Data Center Tax Exemptions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On May 27, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine suspended the ability of data centers to request new tax exemptions while the Ohio General Assembly&#8217;s Joint Data Center Committee studies the growth of data centers in Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DeWine stressed his decision was not a ban on data center construction and that he fully supports the General Assembly&#8217;s work to study the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs this work is ongoing, I believe it is appropriate for the Ohio Tax Credit Authority to pause its consideration of new data center tax exemptions while the full impact of data center growth in Ohio is being reviewed,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Joint Data Center Committee was created in mid-May and is co-chaired by Rep. Adam Holmes (R-Nashport) and Sen. Brian Chavez (R-Marietta). Other members include Rep. Thad Claggett (R-Newark), Rep. Heidi Workman (R-Rootstown), Rep. Chris Glassburn (D-North Olmsted), Sen. Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin), Shane Wilkin (R-Hillsboro) and Willis E. Blackshear Jr. (D-Dayton).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The committee&#8217;s goals include determining data energy cost and availability impacts for other Ohio ratepayers, identifying state and local community economics of data center development, determining environmental impacts, identifying public safety and national security considerations and increasing public awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT) Ohio Executive Director Matt Szollosi, the building trades will have a strong presence at the committee&#8217;s hearings and provide testimony regarding the benefits of data center construction and maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hager: Legislation, Not Bans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his appearance on The Bottom Line, Hager criticized the governor&#8217;s decision to pause the tax incentive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cGov. DeWine&#8217;s decision to end the tax incentive, without any input or warning, when he previously vetoed the effort, is a reactionary policy to the current backlash against data centers instead of forward-thinking legislation that we have seen in other states,\u201d Hager said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He called for legislation that requires data centers to report on energy and water usage and regulates the type of energy used. He also said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/columbusconstruction.org\/construction-issue\/community-benefit-agreements\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community Benefit Agreements<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we work with them and provide good legislation, including community investment and behind-the-meter power generation, we can take some stress off the grid and help keep utility costs in check,\u201d Hager said. \u201cI think the data centers and the developers are paying their own way, not only in taxes, but in community investment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleveland Trades: Sensible Regulation, Not Broad Bans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dave Wondolowski, Executive Secretary\/Business Manager of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbctc.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleveland Building and Construction Trades Council<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, said he advocates for sensible regulations rather than broad data center bans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThoughtful approval allows local leaders to negotiate community benefits and safeguards that align data center projects with public priorities,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondolowski explained that data centers now play a critical role in everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cData centers are essential to Northeast Ohio&#8217;s healthcare, education, transportation, finance, public safety and industrial sectors,\u201d he said. \u201cCommunities that block data center development will forfeit revenue, jobs and influence while still relying on data centers for essential digital services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondolowski also noted that data centers should be constructed on decommissioned industrial sites and brownfields, as has been proposed in communities across Ohio, including Lordstown, Conesville and Portsmouth, which can help balance the needs of Ohio&#8217;s agricultural and industrial sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also addressed a key safeguard created by the Public Utility Commission of Ohio: in 2025, PUCO required data center owners to pay for 85 percent of their electricity usage for at least the next 12 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wondolowski stressed that responsible data center owners need to invest in the research and development of self-sustaining data centers that alleviate burdens on local ratepayers, and noted that data centers increasingly rely on closed-loop or air-cooled systems, which dramatically reduce water consumption compared to older designs.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los l\u00edderes del sector de la construcci\u00f3n de Ohio est\u00e1n
