Operating Company

LEG Centrum is a privately held company based in Westlake, Ohio. It finds and controls sites, manages zoning, permitting and municipal approvals, and plans the power and utility infrastructure a site needs. It then delivers each project as entitled land, powered land, or a completed powered shell ready for fit-out.

In 2026, LEG Centrum proposed a data center at a former testing laboratory at 1835 and 1845 Harsh Avenue SE in Massillon, Ohio, a site of about 10 acres that it is in line to buy. The Massillon Planning Commission recommended rezoning the site for heavier industrial use in October 2026.
