在2026年11月3日周二，俄亥俄州至少14个市镇的选民通过了21项针对数据中心开发的禁令或更严格的监管措施。这些地方投票反对人工智能基础设施的迅速扩张，该扩张原本计划在2030年之前在全州进行高达400亿美元的投资。
Ohio Voters Approve Data Center Bans and Restrictions Across at Least 14 Municipalities On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, voters in at least 14 Ohio municipalities approved bans or stricter regulations on data center developments across 21 ballot measures. The local votes oppose rapid artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion, which had planned up to $40 billion in statewide investments by 2030.
关键措施包括：在森伯里（Sunbury）和帕塔斯卡拉（Pataskala）通过了阻止超过25兆瓦设施的宪章修正案，以及在特伦顿（Trenton）通过了旨在针对一个18栋建筑的亚马逊云科技（Amazon Web Services）项目的80%对20%的禁令（注：此处原文如此，保持80%比20%的比例或限制表述）。在阿什维尔（Ashville），选民选择叫停一个已经在建的园区。
Key measures included charter amendments blocking facilities exceeding 25 megawatts in Sunbury and Pataskala, as well as an 80% to 20% ban in Trenton aimed at an 18-building Amazon Web Services project. In Ashville, voters opted to halt a campus already under construction.
在整个俄亥俄州，这些决定增加了现有的125项地方暂停令，这是由公众对电网稳定性、水资源和环境影响、噪音以及地方税收优惠的两党共同担忧所驱动的。
Across Ohio, these decisions add to 125 existing local moratoriums, driven by bipartisan public concerns regarding electrical grid stability, water and environmental impacts, noise, and local tax incentives.
