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
- Proposed
Thor submitted a site plan for a 460,000 sq ft data center near OH-55 and US-68 (near the Rittal plant) after Urbana annexed and rezoned the property to M-1 in April 2025. The plan was rejected and the project is now in federal litigation.
Underlying source
Source notes
Thor says it has spent over $19M on preliminary work and projects $3M/yr in city tax revenue. The end user is undisclosed. Coordinates are the Urbana city centroid (approximate). The site is near the OH-55 / US-68 intersection.
