Ohio Residents Sue New Owner for $3.3 Million Over Deforestation

Ohio residents are seeking $3.3 million in damages from the new owner of a former coal plant after approximately 250 trees were allegedly cut down from a protected greenbelt. The federal trial centers on a 1986 agreement designed to keep the forest undisturbed and shield the community from toxic coal ash. This legal action highlights local efforts to protect residential water sources and environmental safety.
