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

Whiley Rd, Lancaster. Fairfield County records place the 2021 purchase of about 120 acres (121.545 acres, sold August 2021 for $3,914,240) at 17 Whiley Rd, a separate parcel from the 105 Whiley Rd address that some sources give for the site (59.149 acres, with an adjoining 3.608-acre parcel; county records show both with a March 2025 sale at $3,600,000, all three parcels under one owner entity, Table Mountain Industries LLC). As of October 2026, the pin is approximate and has not been matched to a building footprint. The site is distinct from Google's New Albany and Lima "Project BOSC" Ohio facilities. No site-specific investment figure is disclosed; Google has only published cumulative bundled totals across its New Albany+Lancaster+Columbus Ohio campuses ($1.7B Aug 2023, +$2.3B June 2024, ~$4.4B+ cumulative since 2019). No IT-load MW figure publicly disclosed. One 2024 article notes future buildings will "support Google's artificial intelligence innovation," but this is generic AI-as-one-of-many-workloads boilerplate rather than facility-specific AI/HPC/GPU marketing — no AI classification is recorded. Coordinates are an approximate geocode.
