Massing energy project coming to southern Ohio

Federal leaders are gathered in Portsmouth, Ohio, to announce a new large-scale energy project in Pike County. The project involves the construction of a natural gas plant and a data center. The data center component of the project will be operated by SoftBank Energy, a Japanese company. The chosen site has historical significance, having been originally established in the 1950s during the Cold War era. Leaders present at the announcement emphasized that this new development is expected to play a critical role in the ongoing global competitive landscape.
