A photo tour from mid-May shows ongoing construction, noise-mitigation efforts, and how the company is managing heat and air quality as operations ramp up. 
2. What data centers are already here in Stark County? (indeonline.com) — Massillon is set to host a massive 221‑megawatt Bitdeer crypto mining data center, likely becoming Stark County’s largest such facility and a major local power user. The story compares this project with other Canton-area data centers and raises questions about how much these hyperscale sites actually benefit nearby residents and businesses.
3. Massillon alerting residents to red food dye in Tuscarawas River (cantonrep.com) — If you’ve noticed the Tuscarawas River running red in Massillon, city officials say it’s from a non-toxic food dye that entered the wastewater plant and is not harmful to people, plants, or animals. Engineers, health officials, and the Ohio EPA are monitoring the situation, and the responsible business may face fines and repair costs.

Stark County Hunger Task Force ready for kids' summer food program (cantonrep.com) — Families in Massillon can get free summer food backpacks for kids through a Stark County Hunger Task Force program that includes distribution at the Massillon Library’s main branch.
