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.

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), the planned capacity is 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 the capacity figure as on-site generation, not IT load. Footprint is the four EdgeConneX MCN New Albany South PropCo 2 LLC parcels (97.53 ac per the Licking County Auditor, incl. the 33.86 ac built anchor at 9850 Innovation Campus Way). As of October 2026, the adjacent North PropCo 1 parcel (3356 Clover Valley Rd NW, 170.29 ac) is tracked separately as the EdgeConneX New Albany North Campus. "MCN" is EdgeConneX's internal project prefix (not publicly decoded). Distinct from EdgeConneX's separate Piper Farms land (12 parcels, 136.38 acres in Monroe Township per the Licking County Auditor, deeded 2025-11-17; as of October 2026 about 2.8 mi from this campus's recorded point, and no cited source states its intended use) and from EdgeConneX's Ashville Campus (Pickaway County). Public reception, as of 2026-09-10: this is EdgeConneX's New Albany/Licking County campus (Innovation Campus Way; PowerConneX I (120 MW) and II (216 MW) serve this campus; PowerConneX New Albany 3 (OPSB lists 450 MW; an operator notice said up to 430 MW) serves the North Campus). 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). For New Albany/Licking County specifically, a 2025 article on EdgeConneX's separate Piper Farms land purchase (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.

How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
