Columbus is one of the largest cities in the Midwest, and is an increasingly attractive option for enterprise and hyperscale data center requirements. As the capital and largest city in Ohio, Columbus is the epicenter for the state’s economy. Companies in the region create consistent data center demand and continue to invest into the region’s infrastructure. Data center users find Columbus attractive for several reasons because of the location (centrally located between several major data center markets, including Chicago, New York/New Jersey, and Northern Virginia), lower operational costs, and tax incentives.
