The Ground Rules

City of New Albany

The city's position, and the incentives

New Albany recruited data centers for 15 years and calls them "a key part of the City's long-term, strategic approach to economic development."1

Last checked against sources on .

The short version

  • The city says it "does not have the authority" to approve or deny the gas plants. The state decides.4
  • On Nov. 2, 2026, the filing deadline the judge had set, the city's outside lawyer signed a settlement recommending that the state approve the PowerConneX 3 gas plant. We found no council vote on it in the city's posted agendas.31,33,45 More
  • It has stopped approving new zoning for data centers, but they can still be built on land already zoned for them.4,2,8
  • Most data centers get a 65% to 100% property-tax break on new buildings, usually for 15 years.18
  • Until April 2026, its website said other companies "may consider similar options in the future." That language is gone.5,4

What the city says

The city says the state decides on gas plants. Its own tools, it says, are zoning and taking part in state cases.4

  • 40
    data centers on 15 company campuses in the business park, with 28 more announced or under construction2,3
  • $49 billion+
    invested in data centers, by the city's count1
  • 1,800+
    data center jobs, by the city's count. That works out to about $27 million of investment per job (our arithmetic).1
  • ≈ 1 GW
    of on-site gas generation "anticipated" in the park, in the city's words2

How the city's wording changed

Then: from at least April 2025 to April 2026
"Natural gas power facilities play a critical role in supplying reliable energy to data centers… The City of New Albany anticipates other corporate partners in the New Albany International Business Park may consider similar options in the future."5
Now: the same page
"The City of New Albany does not have the authority to approve, deny, or otherwise determine whether these facilities are constructed. Decisions regarding the need for the facility, fuel type, capacity, and operation are made at the state level."4

The earlier language is no longer on the page.4 We don't know when it was removed.

What the city points to

  • Zoning and state cases: it sets zoning conditions and intervenes in Ohio Power Siting Board cases.4
  • Air quality: the job of Ohio EPA and the siting board, it says.4
  • Taxes: a plant owned by a third party pays full tax rates as public utility property, which cannot be abated.4
More detail: the city's own words

The city says its tools are zoning conditions on layout, buffering and noise, and intervening as a party in siting board cases, where it says it "has been successful in ensuring that our planning and zoning standards were adopted as conditions of the OPSB rulings."4

Tax money from third-party-owned plants goes "directly at full millage to schools, townships, and other local jurisdictions," the city says.4

No new zoning for data centers

The city says it "is no longer approving additional annexation or zoning requests for data center development."4

Data centers can still be built here. The city's existing zoning codes still list data centers as a permitted use,2,8 so data center construction continues on land already zoned for it. Residents asked for a moratorium at council meetings in September and December 2025.9,10 We found none in the legislation adopted through November 3, 2026.
More detail: what the new zoning allows

Since April 2025, new rezonings allow data centers only as a secondary use, the city says.4 In recent rezonings that means data centers may take up no more than 20% of the building space in the district, and only to support another business there.6 In October 2026 the council approved two new tax abatements that rule out data center use.7

Why the city says it competes for data centers

"Were the same data center projects… to have gone to another Central Ohio community, residents may have borne the utility costs without receiving the benefit of these corporate taxpayers in New Albany."

The City of New Albany2
More detail: what the mayor said, and what the city told reporters

According to the December 16, 2025 minutes, a resident asked for a formal report on incentives, water and power. Mayor Sloan Spalding answered that the decisions were made openly in council chambers and reviewed each year. He added that the city had little control over energy.10

On October 7, 2026, Spectrum News reported that the city "chose not to comment" on a proposed gas plant but shared its resident FAQ.11

What the city signed

On November 2, 2026, the city's outside lawyer signed a settlement asking the state to approve the PowerConneX New Albany 3 gas plant. That was the judge's deadline for filing any settlement.31,33

The settlement is a "Joint Stipulation and Recommendation." PowerConneX, the state siting board's staff and the city signed it, and PowerConneX's lawyer filed it with the board at 1:27 p.m. that day.33 The plant would burn natural gas to make up to 450 megawatts for a data center inside city limits. PowerConneX is a subsidiary of EdgeConneX.33,30 We found no council vote on the settlement in the 34 council agendas posted from September 16, 2025 through November 3, 2026, or in the October 20 minutes. Council sometimes votes on motions that are not on the agenda, and we have not read every set of minutes.45,38 The city has not said who authorized the signature. Its notice of intervention names the city manager as the city's chief executive under the city charter.30

How it happened

  1. June 24, 2026The city joins the caseA lawyer from the Columbus firm Kegler Brown Hill + Ritter filed a notice of intervention in City Manager Joseph Stefanov's name. It said the plant "raises various planning, environmental, logistical, and operational issues in which the City of New Albany wishes to participate."30
  2. September 16The state makes the city a partyThe judge set October 15 as the deadline for anyone else to ask to join the case, and November 2 as the deadline to file any settlement.31
  3. October 16State staff recommend approvalThe board's staff recommended approval with 39 conditions.32
  4. October 22Public hearing in New Albany35
  5. November 2, 1:27 p.m.The settlement is filed on the judge's deadlineAll three parties signed through their lawyers. The city's line is its outside lawyer's, marked "per email 11/2/26." No city official's name appears on it.33
  6. November 3, eveningCouncil hears from the siting boardThe board's executive director, Michael Williams, spoke at a regular council meeting. A resident asked who authorized the city to sign. No council member answered, according to the meeting's caption transcript. Earlier, the city attorney had encouraged council not to question staff that night, and the mayor said council would take notes and respond when they could.29,36
  7. November 4The state's evidentiary hearingA resident testified against the plant. The judge said a decision would likely come in January, The Reporting Project wrote.37
  8. January 2027, expectedThe board decides37

What it means

  • The city is on record for approval. The signers "recommend that the Board issue a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need for the facility, subject to the conditions set forth below."33
  • It agrees with the main findings. The city agrees the record supports findings that, with the conditions, the plant has the "minimum adverse environmental impact" and "will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity."33
  • The board still decides. State rules say "No stipulation shall be considered binding upon the board."42 In a 2025 New Albany case, the board wrote that it gives a settlement's terms "substantial weight."41
  • No written waiver. We found no clause in which the city gives up questioning witnesses or appealing. But the city has recommended approval, and the deal gives a signer a right to seek rehearing only if the board rejects or materially changes it.33

What the city got that staff hadn't already recommended

The settlement has 41 conditions. Thirty-nine are the staff's, renumbered, and two are new. One of the staff's conditions gained a sentence.32,33 PowerConneX's own witness listed these three as the additions.34

  • Condition 2, newUpgrades when equipment is replaced

    When equipment needs replacing, the company agrees to upgrade to "more efficient and environmentally friendly models," unless it shows "significant financial or technical hardship."33

  • Condition 6, one added sentenceLandscaping

    The company agrees to "harmonize the project landscaping with the data center landscaping" and to work with the city on any concerns about how the plant looks.33

  • Condition 41, newA promise to negotiate

    The company "commits to working in good faith with the city of New Albany to develop an investment agreement for public and capital projects". No amount or deadline is set.33

The noise limit, construction hours, battery decommissioning bond and complaint reports are the staff's, unchanged.32,33 Staff's own aesthetics condition reflects the city's role. Staff noted that the city had intervened, as in other cases in the business park, and recommended a condition for the city and the company to keep working together on project refinements.32

How the city described it. The Reporting Project wrote that at the November 3 meeting, Community Development Director Jennifer Chrysler listed three results. They were landscaping, an investment in capital improvements and a request to install the latest technology as soon as possible.37 The written upgrade condition applies when equipment is replaced, and the company can skip it by showing "significant financial or technical hardship."33

What happened at the November 3 meeting

City Manager Stefanov had announced the visit at the October 20 meeting.38 The agenda listed the siting board presentation under the hearing of visitors. It listed no item on the settlement and no vote.29 The meeting's caption transcript shows:36

  • Williams told council that state law gives the board sole authority over plants this size. He then described conditions from the newest case, including the company's promise to work with New Albany on funding public projects.36
  • City staff said the city hired special counsel and chose to intervene because opposing the plants and appealing was unlikely to succeed.36
  • Before public comment, the city attorney, who said he was not involved, encouraged council not to question staff that night. He said the city was intervening and negotiating in cases still before the board, and staff should not be asked for statements that could affect them. The mayor agreed and said council would take notes and respond when they could.36
  • About a dozen people spoke, most of them residents.36,37 One asked who authorized the city to sign the settlement and asked for a roll-call vote. No council member answered or made a motion, according to the transcript.36
  • Another resident asked how the city could recommend approval without first talking with residents.36

Williams described the settlement's new conditions as conditions in the newest case, and staff spoke generally about getting the city's requests into settlements. Neither said the city had signed the PowerConneX 3 settlement the day before. Two residents raised it during public comment.36

  • The city's view

    The city says it "does not have the authority to approve, deny, or otherwise determine whether these facilities are constructed."4 It says intervening has gotten its "planning and zoning standards" adopted as conditions.4

    On November 3, staff said an appeal was unlikely to win, and intervening put local conditions on the record. Williams said local intervenors had helped shape conditions on noise, aesthetics, road use and stormwater.36

  • Why it matters

    The settlement is a formal recommendation, in the city's name, that the plant be approved and that it serves the public interest.33

    A resident told council that residents never had a chance to address council before the city signed.36 As of November 5, the city had filed no testimony of its own in the case.35

What you can do

Council meets November 17 and December 1 at 6:30 p.m.46 Ask council who authorized the city's signature, and when.

Ask council to hold a public hearing and a vote before the city signs any future settlement in a power plant case. Ask the city to post each settlement on its gas power page the day it is filed.

The board takes written comments on PowerConneX 3 until it decides. How to comment · How to speak at council

More detail: the settlement's fine print

The deal "is expressly conditioned upon its adoption by the Board without material modification." If the board rejects or materially changes it, any signer may apply for rehearing and, after trying to renegotiate, withdraw. Each signer decides for itself what counts as a material change.33

The signers say the settlement "is the product of lengthy, serious bargaining among knowledgeable and capable parties." It "carries no factual or legal precedent on any issue."33

The signature page says: "The undersigned hereby stipulate and agree and they represent that they are authorized to enter into this Joint Stipulation and Recommendation." The city's line reads "/s/ Robert Dove per email 11/2/26 CMTP." The staff's line carries the same "per email" note.33

More detail: what being a party lets the city do

The city joined under a state rule that lets the chief executive of a city where a plant will sit intervene by notice.43,30 Under state law, "the right to call and examine witnesses shall be reserved for parties."44

A party may apply for rehearing within 30 days of the board's decision. The board's ruling on rehearing can then be appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court within 60 days.32

As of November 5, the only document the city itself had filed in the case was its notice of intervention. PowerConneX filed the settlement.35

More detail: how the board judges a settlement

In its 2025 order on the Socrates North plant, the board listed its three questions:41

  1. "Is the settlement a product of serious bargaining among capable, knowledgeable parties?"
  2. "Does the settlement, as a package, benefit ratepayers and the public interest?"
  3. "Does the settlement package violate any important regulatory principal or practice?"

In Socrates North the board found the first test met. It pointed to the parties' experienced lawyers and their "multiple communications," even though the company's witness said extensive negotiations on conditions were not necessary.41

Williams told council the board has generally voted with its staff in the last five years.36

More detail: the city has signed before

Socrates North, 2025. The board approved a settlement "executed by Applicant, New Albany City, and Staff." It adopted the staff's 30 conditions.41

NEO, October 2026. The city's lawyer signed the NEO settlement, filed October 19. The judge's order letting the city join that case was filed the same day.39 At the 20-minute hearing on October 21, the city's lawyer asked no questions and called no witnesses.40

Socrates the Younger, 2026. The city intervened in April. No settlement was filed in that faster-track case.47

 Investment and jobs figures are the companies' and governments' own announcements at approval time, not audited results. Other data center operators with city tax agreements include EdgeConneX, TJX, Discover, Encova and Stack Infrastructure.7

The tax breaks

Most data centers get a 65% to 100% break on property tax for new buildings, usually for 15 years.18 In return, each owes the city a minimum yearly payment.20

  • Local property tax65% to 100%

    Community Reinvestment Area abatements on new buildings, usually for 15 years, a city spokesman said.18 Ohio law allows up to 30 years for "mega-projects." The city says its abatements "never permanently excuse a corporation from paying taxes," and that the land value itself is not abated.20

  • State sales tax, 2025$1.57 billion

    The actual cost of Ohio's data center sales-tax exemption. The state had estimated $136 million.21 On May 27, 2026 Gov. DeWine paused new exemptions while lawmakers study data centers. Existing agreements are not affected.23

  • Minimum payments≈ $10 million

    Community authority charges data centers paid for tax year 2024, the city reports.20

  • What schools getNot public

    Tax breaks cut the property tax that school districts would otherwise collect. The city says it has "preapproved school compensation agreements" with a standard formula for each type of business.3 We could not find what those agreements pay any district.

More detail: how the minimum payment works

Because data centers create few jobs, the city says it "benchmarks data center developments against the average payroll generated by a like-sized office or manufacturing campus." Each data center owes a minimum yearly payment, which it can meet through income tax, tax increment financing, community authority charges, or a cash payment in lieu of taxes.20

The city says one unnamed company paid the equivalent of income tax on $178 million of payroll.20 Income tax makes up about 80% of the city's general fund.3

More detail: the school agreements and the state sales-tax break

Ohio law says a city must tell the local school board about certain tax breaks at least 14 days before council votes, and must consider the board's comments.48 The council resolutions that renew New Albany's abatements say the Licking Heights, Johnstown-Monroe and C-TEC school boards gave up that notice under their compensation agreements with the city.7,10 The resolutions don't say what the agreements pay, and we could not find the agreements themselves.

Ohio exempts data center equipment from up to 100% of state sales tax.21 Gov. DeWine vetoed a 2025 attempt to narrow it.22

Less public detail from now on. The city's law director told council that a state law effective March 2026 made some information submitted for economic development incentives confidential. Because of it, staff did not present project details at a July 2026 abatement vote.24

Noise

The city acknowledges two noise problems: cooling fans at Google, and noise at Meta's campus after a wall was removed too soon.2

  1. September 2025Residents begin complaining about cooling fans at Google2
  2. April 21, 2026The city says it can't cite GoogleAccording to the minutes, the city's development director said the city could not cite Google as long as it was making documented, reasonable efforts to fix the problem.25
  3. July 2026Noise at Meta's campus south of SR-161The city says "the wall was removed too soon, and the wall will be reconstructed."2
  4. December 2026Google fix dueThe city says "a permanent solution is scheduled for completion in December 2026."2

The city's noise rule for industrial land says sound may not exceed "the average intensity of street traffic noise in the nearest residential districts."2

How the business park grew

New Albany has annexed more than 3,000 acres of Jersey Township since 2022, and annexations have continued.26,6
