Ohios data center boom promises economic growth but delivers few permanent jobs. A four million dollar tax break for a northeast Ohio expansion will create just ten full-time positions. The real concern is the massive electricity these centers need, leading to new transmission lines, substations, and power plants. Residents feel the squeeze as projects often get fast-tracked with little local input. The question is who pays for the infrastructure - data center developers or everyday customers through higher utility rates. Economic reports hype job and growth numbers, but most are temporary or estimated. Some state lawmakers are pushing back with plans to cut tax breaks and make companies cover more infrastructure costs. Ohio has a chance to rethink this rush and set fairer rules to protect ratepayers and communities from hidden expenses.
