Public hearing on data centers and tiny houses on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m.
By Sean Beck
Village of Ada Council Member
Hey Ada!
Just wanted to clear some stuff up for y’all.
Right now, we have some legislation going through the system that would prohibit data centers within Ada, should it pass at both the Planning Commission AND Village Council.
Please know that this is a preventative thing!
We do not, and have not had, any companies with any interest so far. No one.
As the American farmer continues to age, is the younger generation interested in continuing the tradition? Are the older farmers willing to help the younger generation?
I grew up on a small farm in Northwest Ohio. I knew from the age of five that I wanted to farm. I’ve never been given a farm or a bunch of cash. But my parents have given me all the help in the world. As a result, I have learned the importance of work ethics from a young age.
Over the last 12 or so years, I’ve been able to establish the Ada Film Club at Ada High School. What began as a single meeting with 12 kids has now grown to a group of 80 students, two advisors (myself and Christina Bowden) and 10-15 meetings a year.
I would like to take an opportunity to voice my opinion on an issue that impacts the Village I have called home for the last 21 years (I am 21 years old). In January of this year, I was sworn in as an Ada Village Councilor. I looked forward to representing my community and surrounding myself with people who want the best for their community.
After four and a half incredible years, it’s time for me to step away as Director of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.
When I accepted this role, I never imagined just how much it would shape my life. Together, we grew events, strengthened community engagement, built new partnerships, celebrated local businesses, and created opportunities to showcase everything that makes Ada such a special place. Watching our community continue to grow has been one of the greatest privileges of my career.
