Massillon data center reps outline 'neighborhood friendly' project
MASSILLON – Developers for a proposed data center near Washington High School said the facility would bring hundreds of construction jobs, millions of dollars in tax revenue and hands-on training for students if built. Sam Khouri and Felicia King, both of LEG Centrum in Westlake, shared details Nov. 9 about the effort with City Council during a nearly three-hour work session. Their company is in line to buy the proposed data center property and it is asking for a zoning change necessary for the project. The planned data center is smaller scale and not to exceed 40 megawatts, said King, adding that negotiations are ongoing with potential companies or tenants to operate the facility. "Banks and insurance agencies are examples of companies that use a 40 megawatt data center," she said. LEG Centrum could be a future seller or a builder and operator of the data center, Khouri said.

The site has been inactive for about 20 years. On Oct. 14, the Massillon Planning Commission voted 6-0
