New Albany, Licking County, OH

Verification92/100

How corroborated this project is, 0 to 100, built from primary evidence: permits, utility interconnection filings, procurement notices and hiring activity. Higher means more independent sources confirm it.

Five-building hyperscale campus, the first community confirmed under AWS's $7.8 billion June 2023 Central Ohio expansion pledge (part of a cumulative Ohio commitment AWS says will top $23 billion by 2030). Steel is up on the first two data halls, interconnection and substation work is the pacing item, and the campus carries roughly 105 full-time operating jobs once staffed.
