The following is a press release from Thor Equities announcing the launch of a new website aimed at providing information and transparency about the proposed Urbana Technology Hub data center project:
The development team behind the proposed Urbana Technology Hub, a landmark $1 billion data center project, today announced the launch of a new public website: www.urbanaohiodatacenter.com.
The website serves as a central hub for accurate, up-to-date information about the project, including project details, potential community benefits, environmental considerations, and responses to frequently asked questions. It was created to enhance transparency and ensure residents, local officials, and stakeholders have direct access to facts about the proposed development.
Located near the intersection of State Route 55 and U.S. Route 68, adjacent to the existing Rittal facility, the Urbana Technology Hub envisions a modern data center campus designed to support the growing demand for digital infrastructure. The project represents a significant private investment expected to generate substantial new tax revenue of $3 million for the City of Urbana and $2.8 million for Urbana City Schools annually, while creating construction jobs and permanent operations positions.
“We believe in open dialogue with the community and are committed to addressing questions and concerns thoughtfully,” said Jack J. Sitt, CIO of Thor Equities North America.
“By launching www.urbanaohiodatacenter.com, we aim to provide clear, comprehensive details directly from the source so the public can better understand the project’s scope, design features, and potential positive impacts on the region.”
Key features of the new website include:
- A project overview
- Information on economic benefits, including job creation and tax contributions
- Updates on infrastructure and environmental considerations
- Contact information for submitting questions or feedback
The development team continues to engage with city officials and the community throughout the review process, respecting the City of Urbana’s ongoing evaluation of the proposal. For more information, visit urbanaohiodatacenter.com or contact the project team via the website’s inquiry form.
