Legal action Air and generators
City of Hilliard reported withdrawing its ERAC appeal of the air permit for AEP Ohio's natural-gas fuel cells serving the AWS Scioto Darby campus. The city described a carbon-dioxide modeling review and planned later monitoring while criticizing limited local review. This records the city's account, not a court merits ruling, measured air quality, all-pollutant safety finding or AWS diesel-generator permit.
Record status: Withdrawn. City of Hilliard reported withdrawing its own ERAC appeal. This is the city's published account, not a retained commission dismissal order, permit revocation, decision on alleged effects or proof of facility operation.
The exact disposition date is not established in the retained city announcement. Its September 15 publication date is separate from an ERAC withdrawal filing day.

The city release displays September 15, 2026 and the retained original JSON-LD gives that publication day. The identity-context release is dated October 21, 2025. Neither is a substitute for an unverified ERAC filing day.

Public concern on the record Air and generators · Health · Other
Save Ohio Parks raised potential air quality, public health and climate concerns associated with energy production for the proposed Prologis Mila data center, as recorded in the April 2, 2026 Trenton Council minutes. The representative requested a pause for further environmental and infrastructure review and consideration of renewable alternatives. These are attributed potential impacts and requests, without verified fuel sourcing, measured emissions, established health harm, enacted pause or proof of resolution.
Record status: Unknown. The selected original record attributes questions and a request for further review to the public group representative. It does not independently verify the alleged impacts, current resolution or an accomplished project pause.
