Van Wert Data Center

Facility impact comparison

Interactive charts summarizing how the proposed Van Wert Data Center compares to other industrial uses that have been considered for the region.

In years past, Van Wert has aggressively pursued opportunities for a battery or car manufacturing facility at this proposed site. The charts below summarize comparable facility impacts using the same values and ranges shown in the facility impact comparison materials, where applicable.

Total Water Consumption
Typical daily water use (gallons per day).

Values as cited for each facility type. Data center figure reflects the initial charge; ongoing design can save substantial water versus traditional cooling.

Full-Time Employees
Approximate headcount for each facility type.

Headcount as cited.

Typical Noise Levels
Decibel A-weighted (dBA) at the lower and upper end of the cited typical operating range for each facility type.

Typical low (dBA)

Typical high (dBA)

Total capital expenditure
Total project capital in billions of U.S. dollars.

Billions USD. Car manufacturing reflects a $1–2B range; the bar uses a $1.5B midpoint for scale.

Estimated community revenue
Community revenue over a twenty-year horizon (millions USD).

Totals as cited for each facility type.
