Protestors rally in the parking lot of the Bath Township building. Dozens of people gathered at the Bath Township Trustee building in Fairborn Wednesday night to protest the controversial bio-waste operation on Herr Road owned by Central Ohio-based Renergy Inc. The protestors said they know their opposition will be a marathon, not a sprint. Last week, Greene County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Buckwalter ruled that the Bath Township biodigester is a public utility, because it creates a small amount of green energy. That makes it exempt from local zoning rules, per Ohio state law. Township trustees said earlier this week in a Facebook post that they would filed a motion to appeal the decision.
