 Ep. 51 — Brown County Mega Site, Daring Horse Rescue, and an Interview with Greg Roberts.

We start with a developing story in Mt. Orab and Brown County, where residents are demanding answers about a 1,000+ acre “mega site” that many suspect is tied to a data center project. NDAs, unclear ownership, and visible site activity have only added fuel to the fire. From there, we zoom out to Ohio House Bill 646, which would create a temporary state commission to study data centers and their impacts on the grid, water, noise/light, and more. 
Other headlines include: 
  • Bethel-Tate Schools placing a replacement operating levy on the May 5, 2026 ballot
  • A Monroe Township rescue that feels extremely on-brand for Clermont County: firefighters pulling a horse out of an icy pool
  • A progress update on Loveland’s PFAS (“forever chemicals”) treatment project, including a clip from Chris Wojnicz on the Loveland Beacon podcast as the city hits a major design milestone
Then I sit down (again) with Greg Roberts—part-time Moscow Village Administrator, longtime steward of the U.S. Grant Birthplace, and a founder of the Ohio River National Freedom Corridor. We talk about Moscow as a river community, flood realities, the legacy of the 2012 tornado, and what it takes to keep small-town government moving. From there we head into history and civics: Grant’s presidency, Reconstruction-era tensions that still echo today, why Juneteenth matters, and why local government is where the real-world decisions land.

We wrap with events from around the county, including Hearts Afire Weekend in Loveland, maple sugaring hikes, live music in Milford, library programs, a home buying seminar, tree care, and (my personal favorite name of the week) “Hiking for Lichen.”
