New Albany Contractors: Meta's 1GW Prometheus Campus Is Just the Start, Check Your Equipment Rental Invoices

New Albany is ground zero for Ohio's data center explosion. Meta's Project Prometheus, the world's first gigawatt-scale data center, plus QTS's $4.4B campus, EdgeConneX's $137M buildout, Vantage's $2B campus, and Google and Amazon operations make this one of the most active data center corridors in the country. If you're renting equipment for these builds, TrueRent shows you where your vendors are padding invoices with hidden fees.

Meta's Project Prometheus, a 1GW, world's-first gigawatt-scale data center campus, is the anchor of New Albany's data center corridor. QTS is investing $4.4B in a 222MW four-building campus. EdgeConneX purchased 270 acres for $137M and is building 1M+ sq ft with a dedicated 120MW gas-fired power plant. Google, Amazon, and Vantage ($2B campus) also operate here. Columbus added 6.1 million sq ft of data center space from 2015-2024, more than any market except NoVA and Dallas.
