How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.

Organized resident opposition on environmental, health, and energy-cost concerns documented since at least fall 2025; the project's power-delivery shortfall (240 MW requested vs. 45 MW/24-month deliverable) triggered the Jan 2026 pause. Butler County's June 2026 moratorium legally covers only unincorporated townships, not the City of Hamilton, but reflects regional opposition context.

Notes on the record

Site scaled and moved twice: original Nov 2024 plan was ~15 acres/155,000 sq ft/~$15M/~15 MW at University Commerce Park; by fall 2025 it had grown to a 29.2-acre city-owned parcel at 1380 University Boulevard, 320,000 sq ft, 200+ MW, $1B+ (Wharton Equity Partners partnership). No single capacityMw figure is asserted here, disclosed MW figures range from an original 15 MW up to a 240 MW request that a Jan 2026 city feasibility study found undeliverable (only 45 MW available within 24 months). Project has been paused since January 2026 pending resolution of that power-delivery gap; most recent confirmed reporting (June 2026) states it remains paused, with no resumption, cancellation, or construction start found. No AI/HPC-specific marketing language found in any source, so aiClassification is omitted. Coordinates are the Hamilton, OH city-area centroid, not an independently geocoded parcel point for 1380 University Boulevard.

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
