Wiping out that wetland may be a big mistake. Wetlands flood. I hope they had a climate change updated 1:100 year flood study done. Oh well.

I would suggest you consider making it painfull for them and trying to extract the highest price from them as you can. If it really is as inevitable as you say.

All the best.

1:100 is nothing these days. The initial alarm bells over "global warming" didn't have access to the computational resources we have today and focused on average global temperature. We're seeing 1:1000 events downright frequently these days because the planet hasn't seen conditions like this in a very long time and our statistical models have a hundred years of lag built-in. I do hope they get their engineering right; fabs are full of nasty chemistry and in a flood plain it will travel quite far as the water rises.

Isn't Ohio tornado country?

Central Ohio isn’t. Every year we pretty much just get “tornado formed somewhere” and maybe a trail or or building gets knocked down. Not to say something can’t happen but it’s not very often compared to the plains and south.
Thanks, I'm a west coast gal, the mountains protect us from such concerns and too much horizon makes me nervous...
I’m a skier and if we weren’t tied to here b/c of family I think we’d be out west somewhere. With boring climate comes stability. We don’t really have any fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, blizzards, or atmospheric rivers, or extreme heat/cold. But it’s so boring too. :(

I guess I take that back I mean it can get very hot or cold but it’s not sustained.
