Family Expresses Gratitude for Honoring WWII Veteran with Military Service Banner
Don Egan expressed gratitude to the City of Oregon for displaying his father's military service banner.

Programs like this are seen as vital for ensuring veterans are remembered and for educating younger generations about history and the freedoms they enjoy. The family extended thanks to the mayor, city council, city staff, and especially Cassie Rossen for making the Veterans Banner Program possible, calling it a reflection of the community's best values.

Residents Voice Strong Opposition to Data Centers, Citing Environmental and Community Impacts
Residents expressed concerns about the potential construction of large-scale data centers in Ohio, citing issues such as massive water use, higher electric rates, noise, air pollution, and impacts on human health. Examples from Dowagiac, Michigan, and Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, were cited regarding noise pollution and a class-action lawsuit. A case in Cheyenne, Wyoming, involving sewer discharge contamination from a data center operation was also mentioned. A citizen-led petition drive to limit such construction is ongoing, with organizers aiming to gather enough signatures to place the issue on the November 2027 ballot. Local residents have also contributed signatures, indicating significant opposition within Oregon and surrounding communities. The contract extension with an unknown party regarding data center proposals is nearing expiration, with unresolved questions about noise, electric rates, environmental effects, construction, traffic, and water use.
