Operated by:
Microsoft: Hebron
Lot Size:
200 acres
Microsoft put its data center construction plans on hold in New Albany, Heath, and Hebron in April 2025. This decision came after the village of Hebron had given Microsoft the green light to develop a six-data center campus spanning 200 acres west of Ohio 79, between North High Street and Canyon Road.
Site History
-
Microsoft had been expected to invest $500 million in each data center building and to bring 30 jobs per data center to the area. Construction was then expected to start in 2026.
-
Microsoft had requested 252 gallons per minute per building, plus a reserve of 210,000 gallons per day for discharging, treating, and transporting at peak wastewater flow. This was projected to represent 30 percent of the Village's water capacity. The company was also planning to create two large retention ponds.
-
Microsoft first revealed plans to purchase the land in Licking County in January 2024. At the time, construction was reportedly expected to commence in late 2024 or early 2025.

Operating Company
Operated by:
Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.
Azure Regions
An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.
With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.
Geographies
An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.
Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.
Availability Zones
Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
