OpenAI’s Massive Ohio Data Center | Cincinnati News

OpenAI is launching a massive $350 million data center campus in Pike County, Ohio, partnering with SB Energy, Nvidia, and the Department of Energy to create 35,000 construction jobs and 2,500 permanent roles. The project will be leased to OpenAI for 20 years, powered by Nvidia’s AI hardware, and funded through company growth and investor capital—with commitments to water conservation, local hiring, and grid upgrades. To ease community concerns, OpenAI is investing $40 million in local grants and $84 million in ChatGPT credits for Ohio students, while pledging ongoing engagement through regular meetings and annual impact reports to turn southern Ohio into a hub for tech careers and economic growth.
