City Leaders Pursue $5 Billion Data Center Project

Columbus leaders are exploring what could become one of the largest economic development projects in city history. A proposed $5 billion data center initiative, referred to as Project Ruby, is under consideration and would significantly expand the region’s tech infrastructure.

Community Event Focuses on Hope and Healing

In community news, a sex trafficking survivor will speak at an upcoming Columbus event centered on awareness, recovery and support services. Advocates say the gathering aims to provide resources and encourage open conversation about exploitation and prevention.

Organizers hope the event will connect survivors with assistance while strengthening partnerships among local nonprofits and law enforcement.
