What the source record says
Address 6787 Green Meadows Drive, Lewis Center OH 43035, southeast corner of Green Meadows Drive and Home Road, Orange Township. Power to be supplied by AEP. Phase 1 (135,000 sq ft, 25MW) construction began June 2025, targeted completion fall 2026; may expand to 75MW. Received 50%/10-year Ohio sales tax exemption (~$42.3M combined with the Licking County site) plus a 10-year 50% Delaware County property tax abatement, approved at the June 1, 2026 Ohio Tax Credit Authority meeting — the last such approval before Gov. DeWine's announced pause on new data center tax breaks. Coordinates are the Lewis Center/Orange Township town centroid, not parcel-verified in this session — recommend a follow-up parcel-level geocode of 6787 Green Meadows Drive before publishing at high precision.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
