Allen Township in Hancock County, Ohio, has adopted new restrictive zoning rules for data centers, including limits on water use, noise, and power draw, but included an exemption for planned unit developments, potentially allowing OnSite Partners' proposed 240-acre data center campus to bypass these restrictions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your opportunity in data centre development just opened in Allen Township with a rare zoning exemption allowing large projects to bypass standard limits on water, noise, and power. Act quickly to engage local authorities or position your facility as an alternative to restricted sites.
