A study released this week details the economic benefit that data centers bring to Ohio, and throughout the U.S. The study demonstrated that data centers directly employ 15,000 Ohioans, and that centers support 6.5 jobs for each job directly employed. Also highlighted in the study were the taxes paid by the industry in Ohio, which accounted for $931 million in assorted taxes in 2023.

The OMA has joined forces with data centers in expressing concerns over a proposed electricity rate proposal that would penalize data centers with disproportionate user costs. 2/19/2025
