Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

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. A separate Ohio Tax Credit Authority approval (December 15, 2025) went to Crusoe Energy Systems LLC for a new data center in the City of Springfield, with a $444.5 million fixed-asset investment and 20 jobs, distinct from The Constant Company approval of October 27, 2025 for this project. As of October 2026 no cited source says whether the Crusoe project is at this campus or at another site in Springfield, so it is not combined with this record and its relationship to this project is unresolved. 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.
