Conflicts and open questions

  • Only a photo caption was found in the sources opened; county placement (Licking) needs confirmation from a parcel or abatement record.
  • Signal Ohio reported 17 New Albany data centers have property tax abatements of 65% to 100% for 15 years; project-by-project terms were not pulled.
