Good morning, Dev Test County. The contrast couldn't be starker: while Lordstown's council just slammed the brakes on a $3.6 billion AI data center project with a unanimous ban, the Ohio Supreme Court simultaneously greenlit the developer's lawsuit to fight back. It's the kind of high-stakes standoff that turns sleepy Route 45 into ground zero for the state's tech infrastructure battles.
On a brighter note, Barnesville freshman Ladyn Hines just made history as Ohio's first-ever girls wrestling state champion—a milestone that had Belmont County Commissioners rolling out the red carpet. And if you missed the commotion Wednesday in Jefferson Township, that was Amazon's logistics facility getting evacuated after a roof fire brought out the cavalry (thankfully, everyone's safe).
