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.
Reported lifecycle history

Underlying source
Source notes
Operator is the developer (Panattoni); the end user is unnamed ('a major American technology company that provides digital services such as cloud computing'). Do not infer Amazon: WHBC only says Panattoni is 'most often associated with Amazon'. The lead's ~324 MW was not found in any source consulted as of October 2026; the Repository (Oct 9 2026) gives 320 MW, single-source. Property is 'nearly 91 acres' owned by A&J Urban Development (Repository Aug 13) — no land area is recorded because the figure is approximate and ownership/lease to Panattoni is not stated. Panattoni's page says it is 'completing engineering, environmental review, and permitting', ~30-month build. Coordinates: OSM intersection node of Marietta Ave NE and Georgetown St NE (Overpass node 199939548; sources say 'Georgetown Road NE'); the site is SE of that corner, between Marietta and Trump Aves off 8th St NE, so approximate (likely within ~0.5 km). Not a duplicate of Amazon Perry Township Data Center (Panattoni's other Stark project, Faircrest St SW, Perry Township, 240 MW) — the Repository lists both separately — nor of Midwest Digital Gateway (Central Avenue SE, Canton), in SE Canton. Site is the former Ford property in northeast Canton.
