Why Ohio?

Tech is one of Ohio’s fastest-growing industries with expertise in sectors including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, IoT, Semiconductors, analytics and more. The planned workloads at this location could be performed elsewhere in the United States, but the size of the site, potential for significant power, make this site attractive over the alternatives.
