The designation would guide future development, including advanced manufacturing, research and development, logistics, and offices. But residents of Perrysburg and surrounding townships questioned what that development might look like and whether it could eventually bring data centers to the area. More than a dozen people attended an open house Wednesday at the Schaller Memorial Building, where city officials explained the proposal and answered questions. Joe Fawcett, Perrysburg’s city administrator, said economic development has been a priority as the city looks for ways to broaden its tax base and help address financial pressures, particularly school funding. “One of the focus areas over the last few years has been economic development and, specifically, how to broaden the tax base,” Mr. Fawcett said. “How to bring in large industrial utility users into the community to help alleviate some of the issues we’ve been
