Provider notes
Energy. Owner says the campus will generate its own power and not connect to the grid. Projected natural gas severance/royalty revenue implies gas-fired generation.
Water. Own Ohio River intake developed with Buckeye Water District; owner claims water recycled in a closed loop with no discharge.
Community. About 100 attended the May 2026 public meeting at Highlandtown VFD. Many residents were opposed; union representatives spoke in favor.
What the source record says
Owner Tony Sharma's figures (500 MW + 500 MW phases, $3.5–4.5B investment, 2,000–5,000 permanent IT jobs) are company claims at a public meeting and are not independently verified, so they are kept here rather than in structured fields. Coordinates are the Yellow Creek Township centroid. The site is near 16 School Road and the SR 7 corridor near the Jefferson County line.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
