VAN WERT, Ohio (WLIO) – Van Wert is one step closer to landing a data center on the city’s east side.
The Marsh Foundation announced that Thor Equities has purchased 221 acres of land from them along U.S. 30. The price of the sale was not disclosed, but Thor Equities’ CEO told the industry insider Data Center Dynamics that the site will be used to expand the data center market and, because of its prime location and existing utilities and infrastructure, the Van Wert site is “a rare and valuable asset for the data center industry.”
While Thor Equities will develop the property, there is still no word on which company will operate the data center. That information may not be released until 2026.
