Community. 6-month moratorium, citizen ban petition, and a county zoning restriction (I-2 heavy-industrial, of unclear applicability to this township-zoned site) -- see notes field for full context.
What the source record says
5C Group (formed May 2025 when Hypertec Cloud acquired 5C Data Centers) owns/builds the campus in the Prime Ohio corporate park; Vultr (legal entity The Constant Company, LLC) is the AI/cloud tenant. Corrects a discovery-pipeline conflation of this project with a separate, independently tax-credited Crusoe Energy Systems project elsewhere in Springfield -- not the same facility. Capacity: 75 MW disclosed operating load at opening vs. 150 MW max design load (city FAQ) -- both real, tracked field carries the larger design figure. Investment: ~$1.3B total project cost (multi-source) vs. $901.3M JobsOhio incentive-scoped committed investment -- tracked field carries the total-project figure. 120 permanent jobs / >$14M annual payroll disclosed (WYSO); a separate JobsOhio incentive filing cites 20 committed data-infrastructure jobs (narrower, incentive-scoped count). Incentives: ~$95M city enterprise-zone abatement over 15 years; $32M+ state 10-year 50% Ohio Tax Credit Authority credit (Oct 2025) to The Constant Company. Community context: Springfield passed a 6-month moratorium on new data centers and a citizen petition to ban them was launched; Clark County (Jul 2026) restricted data centers to I-2 heavy-industrial zoning, but the county's own zoning administrator noted no I-2 parcels currently exist in county jurisdiction, and Springfield Township (where Prime Ohio sits) zones separately from the county -- this rule change may not directly bind this site.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
