Fairfield County data center draws skepticism, alternative utility plans

Construction is underway in Fairfield County, Ohio, on a new $2.1 billion data center by Vantage Data Centers, which has raised concerns among some Millersport residents regarding land acquisition, environmental impacts, and the project's rapid progression. The facility will include four data centers, two security buildings, and one administrative warehouse on 350 acres and aims to address water and power concerns through a closed-loop cooling system and an on-site natural gas energy center.
