Central Ohio Contractors: Anduril's $1B+ Arsenal-1 Joins Intel in Making Ohio a Construction Powerhouse, Watch Your Rental Costs

Anduril Industries is building Arsenal-1, a $1B+ advanced defense manufacturing facility in Pickaway County, Ohio, the largest weapons manufacturing plant built in the U.S. in decades. With Intel's $28B fab 30 miles north, Central Ohio is experiencing unprecedented construction demand. TrueRent shows Ohio contractors where United Rentals, Sunbelt, Ohio CAT, and EquipmentShare are charging above market on defense and semiconductor mega-projects.

Central Ohio now has two mega-projects, Intel and Anduril, competing for the same equipment pool. That concentrated demand gives rental companies enormous pricing leverage. When every crane, lift, and excavator in the region is spoken for, delivery charges spike, standby rates appear, and environmental fees creep up. TrueRent catches these hidden costs before they eat your margins.
