Amazon Data Services is developing a data center campus at 1022 Ginger Ridge Road near Manchester in Sprigg Township, Adams County, Ohio. The 1,016-acre site is former Dayton Power & Light land next to the retired J.M. Stuart power station. Amazon bought it from Buck Canyon Properties LLC in November 2026.
Federal and state permits cover up to 12 buildings, internal roads, five stormwater basins and an on-campus substation that Amazon will build and own. AES Ohio will serve the campus from its Stuart 345 kV substation over two new 345 kV lines. Cooling water will come from the Ohio River. Construction is planned in phases through 2034.
