Percheron data center campus (Rowan) on Tower Road
Also called: Percheron Data Center, Rowan Green Data
Rowan plans two to five data center buildings on 190 acres it is buying from Threemile Canyon Farms. Morrow County rezoned the land for industry in 2023, even though the state land agency said other industrial land was available. No tenant has been named.
Where things stand: County commissioners rezoned the land from farm to industrial in Sept. 2023. No building news since.
🕒 Latest update (Sept 6, 2023): Morrow County commissioners voted 3-0 to rezone 190 acres from farm to industrial use.
