Youngstown acquisition and development remain pending
Valor has agreed to acquire all outstanding equity interests in the entity that holds the computing center at 1911 Logan Avenue. The facility has 18 MVA of power capacity under an existing 23 kV utility interconnection with Ohio Edison.
If the acquisition closes, Valor plans to convert the approximately 30,890-square-foot facility to support AI and high-performance computing workloads. Design, construction, equipment procurement and permitting would still be needed.
The company cautioned that the acquisition might not be completed on the described terms or at all. Development timing and scope also depend on sufficient funding and further work. Among the stated uncertainties are how much usable IT load the site's power infrastructure can support and whether existing power arrangements will continue after closing.
