City of Defiance Proposed Charter Amendment: Ban on data centers
What does this measure do?
This adds a ban to the city charter (the city's basic rules) on building any data center in Defiance that uses more than 25 megawatts of power. It adds no tax; big data centers could not be built or expanded in the city, but smaller ones stay allowed.
Proposed by: Citizen petition by Defiance residents Rosa Escamilla, Lorelle Buntain and Jill Mack
Three Defiance residents who oppose data centers filed the petition. They want the city charter to ban building any data center in the city.

A YES vote means
New data centers using more than 25 megawatts could not be built in Defiance, and work to build or enlarge one past that size would be banned. The ban takes effect without any new city law.
A NO vote means
The charter does not change. Large data centers stay governed by normal city zoning and permit rules.
No financial records found for this ballot measure.
