Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over EdgeConneX MCN New Albany (South Campus) in New Albany, Licking County, Ohio appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

Notes on the record

EdgeConneX's ~$1B multi-phase "MCN New Albany" South campus. Per the Ohio Tax Credit Authority scope-of-work filing: Phase I converts a ~525,000 sq ft existing warehouse (9850 Innovation Campus Way) into an 80 MW data center; Phase II proposes two new 72 MW facilities (144 MW), capacityMw.planned = 224 (80 + 144, IT load). A co-located PowerConneX natural-gas energy center (reported 140 to 216 MW of generation across sources) is EXCLUDED from capacityMw as on-site generation, not IT load. Footprint spans the South PropCo 2 parcels (~97 ac incl. the built anchor) plus the adjacent North PropCo 1 parcel (3356 Clover Valley Rd NW, 170 ac); ~267 ac combined. "MCN" is EdgeConneX's internal project prefix (not publicly decoded). Distinct from EdgeConneX's separate Piper Farms parcel (~5 mi away) and from edgeconnex-ashville-oh (Pickaway County). Public-reception check (2026-09-10): IMPORTANT DISAMBIGUATION: this is EdgeConneX's New Albany/Licking County campus (Innovation Campus Way; Phase 1 120MW, Phase 2 216MW, Phase 3 430MW). It is a SEPARATE EdgeConneX project from the heavily-opposed EdgeConneX proposal in Ashville, Pickaway County, OH (denied annexation 2026-02-02 after packed council meetings and a Change.org petition) -- do not merge that record's contention into this one. For New Albany/Licking County specifically, a land-purchase article (2025, checked 2026-09-10) mentions only general Central Ohio-wide concern that data centers could raise electricity costs, immediately caveated because this project's power comes from dedicated on-site generation (PowerConneX), not the residential grid. No hearing, resident testimony, or official statement specific to this Licking County site was found.
