Meta will be developing a second data center campus in Ohio as the company announced this week that it will be building a new “AI-optimized data center” in Northwest Ohio. The 715,000-square-foot (66,425 sqm) project, known as the Bowling Green Data Center, will be located on a 280-acre site in Middleton Township, Wood County.
“We are thrilled that we will be building our Bowling Green Data Center right here in Wood County. We selected Middleton Township for a number of reasons, including great access to infrastructure and renewable energy, a strong pool of talent, and a wonderful set of community partners that have helped us move this project forward,” said Brad Davis, director of data center community and economic development at Meta. “We are excited to become part of the Wood County community, and we look forward to having a strong, mutually beneficial partnership for years to come.”
“Ohio is shaping the future of the data-driven digital economy, and we are pleased that Meta chose Wood County for this new investment,” added Mike DeWine, Ohio Governor. “Northwest Ohio’s talent pipeline and strategic location will create an environment where Meta, and the other technology companies they attract, can thrive while bringing new opportunities for our regional workforce and their families.”
