• Ashville Cancels Planning and Zoning Meetings Following Rezoning and Annexation Pushback (sciotopost.com) — Ashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission meetings set for December 16 have been canceled after the rezoning request tied to a proposed data center and annexation from Harrison Township was withdrawn. The move follows weeks of resident pushback, formal objections from township trustees, and multiple village resignations. Any future data center proposals would have to restart the public review process.
   

• Ashville Residents Press Council for Clarity on Proposed Data Center Annexation (sciotopost.com) — Ashville residents packed Monday night’s village council meeting demanding clearer answers about a massive proposed data center and related annexations. Villagers challenged comments suggesting there would be no vote and pressed leaders on how much say the public really has. Council members cited zoning, annexation agreements, and legal complexity, but many left still frustrated and calling for more transparency.
   

• Athlete of the Week (circlevilleherald.com) — Ashville readers can celebrate Teays Valley bowler Sam Rodgers, who recently rolled a perfect 300 game after four years of hard work and dedication. His coach and teammates describe him as a humble leader whose confidence, organization, and relentless practice at Columbus lanes are driving him toward state-level goals and inspiring younger bowlers.
