Valor Energy has announced an agreement to buy an operational computing center on Logan Avenue in Youngstown for $3.6 million. The approximately 31,000-square-foot property already has access to substantial electrical power, which the company says could shorten the timeline for conversion into an artificial intelligence data center.

The proposed project is not yet guaranteed to proceed. Valor Energy said the purchase remains subject to due diligence and other closing conditions, and additional design, construction, equipment and permitting would be required before the site could operate as an AI data center.
