Faircrest Street Data Center (Perry Township)
Panattoni Development Co.. Approved. 240 MW.
Panattoni Development Co. purchased a 100 acre property near Faircrest Street SW and Kropf Avenue SW in Perry Township for a proposed 240 megawatt hyperscale data center, expected to be the largest taxpayer in Stark County, and the Stark County Regional Planning Commission has approved the project. On September 1, 2026 Stark County residents sued Perry Township trustees, Panattoni, and other local officials in state court, alleging Open Meetings Act violations in how the township's noise ordinance and a tax exemption resolution tied to the project were adopted. The lawsuit challenges the approval process, not the project's zoning itself, and has not changed its approved status.
