Conflicts and open questions

  • Coordinates approximate: Rensch Road area south of Grove City; no parcel published.
  • Project name, $6.9 billion figure and Headwaters' due-process letter come from Time (Oct. 29, 2026) only.
  • Sources name a private landowner who received a letter of intent; omitted here.
  • The Stream Data Centers site reported by FOX 28 and NBC4 (300+ acres between Rensch and Beatty roads) and Headwaters' Project Maple reported by Time (310 acres south of Grove City) match in place and size; no single source names both.
