Microsoft is just the latest of the country’s Big Tech firms to lay claim on land in and around New Albany.
That neighboring land owned by Amazon will likely become a data center. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency wetland permit applications submitted by MBJ Holdings in November detailed proposals for sizable data centers with more than two dozen buildings on the same plots Amazon purchased in January. (The wetlands thank you /s EPA, who probably got enough money to ok the permits. 🙄)
Once you have one data center, and it works out real well for Facebook, then the next thing, Google comes, and then Amazon comes, and then Amazon doubles the size of their data centers. And now you have Microsoft.” (If you build it, they will come. 😉)
Amazon already has seven data centers in central Ohio, three of which are in New Albany, according to data center tracking resource Baxtel. 👉🏼Not far away is Facebook parent Meta’s👈.
Google announced in May it would add two — on land it already owned in Columbus and Lancaster — after building out its original data center in New Albany. Construction had already begun, according to Google.
These companies, like the government, (but I repeat myself 😄), are too big and out of control!
There is also a google data center in new Albany and it was hardly announced.
It's not just gulag.
