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.

Aligned confirmed as the HPC-campus developer within a multi-tenant redevelopment of the shuttered Pixelle Specialty Solutions paper mill.
Underlying source
Source notes
Part of a multi-tenant redevelopment of the shuttered Pixelle paper mill (closed 2025) alongside Amphibian Aerospace Industries, U.S. Medical Glove Company, and U.S. Box Company. The $1.5B figure is the anticipated investment that the U.S. Paper Mill press release attaches to Aligned's high-performance computing campus ("The project represents an anticipated $1.5 billion investment", as quoted by WOSU Public Media), and the Athens County Independent reports a Ross County Chamber of Commerce press release saying that Aligned will invest $1.5 billion. WOSU's own summary instead gives $1.5 billion as the estimated investment across the whole multi-tenant buildout (Amphibian Aerospace Industries, U.S. Medical Glove Company, Aligned and U.S. Box Company), so the sources differ on whether the figure covers only the data-center campus. The developer is named only as "Aligned" in the press materials; on 2026-08-12 the Athens County Independent corrected its story, which had called the company Aligned Data Centers, to say "The company involved is named Aligned, but is not Aligned Data Centers." As of October 2026, no cited source says which company this is, so the record carries the press release's name only. No street address specific to the data-center building has been reported; location uses the mill's mailing address as an approximate anchor.
