Province Group has agreed to buy about 225 acres of former nursery land, known as Champion Farm, in the center of Perry Village and the neighboring township, off U.S. Route 20. It proposes six buildings of about 250,000 square feet each, a $1 billion investment and 200 to 300 jobs, under the name Perry Technology Park. No site plan has been filed, and the land purchase has not closed. Council rejected a 15-year tax abatement in July 2026, and voters approved a measure in November 2026 that requires financial guarantees before any abatement.
