Data centers are becoming fixtures of the American landscape, popping up in towns, cities and suburbs across the U.S. Demand for data centers has ballooned in recent years due to the rapid growth of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Some residents are pushing back against the world's most powerful corporations over concerns about the economic, social and environmental health of their communities.

Former Morrow County officials allegedly helped approve data center deals while also owning a stake in a company that contracted with AWS to provide fiber optic cables for the data centers.

In June , they each paid $ 2,000 to settle an ethics complaint.

The latest data center deal gives the company an estimated $1 billion in tax breaks spread over the 15 years to build five new data centers in Morrow County .
