Crane: Hubbard (Project Milo)

Crane Data Centers studied a data center campus, code-named Project Milo and also called Snow Goose, on the closed Deer Creek Golf Course north of East Liberty Street in Hubbard. FirstEnergy transmission lines cross the property. Crane signed a five-year nondisclosure agreement with the city and Lake to River in December 2024 and paid for a utility study of the site.

The project ended in 2026. Mayor Ben Kyle said in July, "There is no project. The project is dead." Hubbard voters then approved a ban on data centers in November 2026 with about 76% of the vote.
