This clinic will give individuals, community groups, nonprofits, and municipalities the chance to have a one-time, no-cost virtual legal consultation with Fair Shake and partner attorneys.

Who Can Attend?  any individual, community group, nonprofit, or municipal official(s) working on data center issues in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia.

What Types of Legal Questions Can We Ask?  Fair Shake attorneys can answer questions including:

• Zoning, rezoning, and updated zoning maps

• Public notice

• Right to know requests

• State permits or permitting processes 

• Becoming a "party of interest"

• Utility rate proceedings

• Moratoriums, recalls, and referendum procedures

• Organizing, community engagement, communications, and community education

• Other questions that connect back to data centers and power generation/’bring your own power’ plants are welcome.

Time:  Each group will receive at least a 30-minute slot of time.  We will confirm your time slot a week prior to the clinic. You must confirm your slot within 48 hours, otherwise we will open that time back up for other communities.

Registration will open on March 15.
