PERRY TOWNSHIP, OH (WLIO) - Allen County Commissioners are learning more about a proposed data center in Perry Township.
Commissioners are encouraged by the interest in Microsoft to become a member of the community.
Representatives from Microsoft are in town for a community meeting Thursday afternoon, but took time this morning to sit down with commissioners to share more about what a data center is and that Allen County is still in the running for one of their centers. They are looking at land east of State Route 65 between Breese and Hume Roads in Perry Township for a multi-building campus to increase their data center footprint.
The Allen Economic Development Group and the Greater Lima Region have worked for nearly two years with Microsoft to get to this point in the process.

"I think it was exciting to learn today that they have three projects in the works in the Columbus area. I sat there and thought well, Lima to be their fourth project potentially is pretty exciting," said Beth Seibert, Allen County Commissioner.
