In Doubt
The development is facing regulatory or community opposition
Operated by:

Aligned: Pataskala

Year Planned: 2028
Utility Provider: AEP Ohio
Lot Size: 89 acres

Aligned Data Centers is targeting Pataskala for its second development in the Buckeye State. Aligned broke into the Ohio market with a $202 million project in Sandusky.

The Texas-based company paid $13.9 million for three parcels of vacant land at 6770 Mink St SW (89.4 acres, SE corner of Broad St SW & Mink St SW), sold by Shaffer Family Investments LLC.

Proposed campus

  • ~200 MW across three buildings (reduced from an original four), on land zoned for manufacturing.
  • Powered primarily behind-the-meter by on-site Bloom Energy natural-gas fuel cells, sized for the full campus so as not to strain the local utility grid. About 15,000 dth/day of natural gas imported to the site (Columbia Gas of Ohio territory).
  • 3 MW backup generators; closed-loop cooling that reuses water (no municipal water draw).
  • Electric utility territory: AEP Ohio (PJM). Grid role limited to standby given the self-generation design.

Status (2026-07)

  • Application filed Nov 2025; land acquired 2023.
  • Pataskala Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-2 on 2026-06-03 to recommend the City Council reject the site plan.
  • City Council public hearing and decision set for 2026-08-25; organized resident opposition, including a push for a fall ballot measure to block large data centers.
