The City of Oregon, Ohio, is urging local families and business owners to attend a public open house hosted by Vantage Data Centers on Sunday, Oct. 25. The event will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the second floor of Clay High School, 5665 Seaman Road, and is intended to give community members a chance to ask questions and provide feedback on the company’s proposed $1 billion data‑center project near Corduroy and Wynn roads.
Project details and council timeline
According to the economic‑development agreement filed with the city, Vantage Data Centers is seeking approval from the Oregon City Council for the data‑center by Oct. 26. The agreement outlines a multi‑phase development that could bring significant job opportunities and tax revenue to the area, while also raising concerns among some residents about the size and environmental impact of the facility.
What residents can expect at the open house
City officials will be on hand alongside Vantage representatives to explain the project’s scope, anticipated construction timeline, and expected economic benefits. Attendees will receive informational packets, view site plans, and have the opportunity to voice any objections or suggestions directly to decision‑makers.
Upcoming ballot measure
In addition to the council vote, Oregon voters will see a ballot measure on Nov. 3 that could limit the maximum footprint of the data‑center. The measure is being closely watched by both the developer and community groups, as its outcome could shape the final size and scale of the facility.
Community response
Local business owners have expressed optimism about the potential for new jobs and increased commerce, while some neighborhood groups have raised questions about traffic, noise, and the impact on local schools. The open house is designed to bring these perspectives together before the council makes its decision.
How to participate
Anyone interested in learning more or sharing their views should attend the open house at Clay High School. No registration is required, and the city encourages residents to bring family members to ensure a broad representation of community voices.
For further information, residents can contact the City of Oregon’s Planning Department or visit the city’s official website.
