Cologix to invest $7B in central Ohio for 800MW AI-ready data center expansion
Cologix, a network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company, has acquired land in Johnstown, Ohio, to develop a new AI-ready data center campus, expanding its presence in Central Ohio.
The new campus will feature eight data centers with a total potential capacity of 800MW across 2.0 million square feet.
Cologix plans to invest over $7 billion to enhance digital infrastructure, supporting the growing demand for generative AI and hybrid cloud solutions.
“As the largest provider of colocation and interconnection solutions in Columbus, we are thrilled to deepen our investment in Central Ohio,” said Laura Ortman, CEO of Cologix. “This new eight-data-center campus is more than an expansion—it’s a testament of our commitment to high-capacity, resilient digital infrastructure that not only meets but anticipates our customers’ evolving requirements.”
Development of the first phase is expected to begin in 2025, reinforcing Cologix’s commitment to high-capacity, resilient infrastructure.
The project is seen as a catalyst for economic growth in Johnstown, with local leaders expressing support for the investment.
Cologix currently operates four data centers in Columbus, Ohio, and aims to provide extensive interconnection options for cloud providers and enterprises. The company recently raised $1.5B to expand AI-ready edge data centers across North America.
