Watch a coal plant become a data center: Conesville #Ohio #Coshocton #datacenter

Watch a coal plant become a data center. The Conesville power plant in Coshocton County stood until a few years ago. On July 21, 2025, Ohio released $58.75 million for water, sewer and roads on the old plant's land; the record names no company. Three days later Aligned Data Centers said it would build on 197 acres beside it.
