The website, www.vanwertohiodatacenter.com, includes frequently asked questions, fact vs. fiction explanations, and an option to connect directly with local experts.

“Our goal is to make sure everyone in our community has access to accurate information in a format that works best for them,” said Brent Stevens, Executive Director of VWAEDC. “We are committed to transparency and open communication as conversations around this project continue.”
