Trap parcel data center proposal (2023)

Grove City

Description

A 99-acre data center proposal that never got past a pre-annexation agreement, which Council rejected 5-0 in 2023 over concerns about the unknown operator and foreign ownership; the land was later annexed anyway as residential SF-1.

Impact summary

The city denied it on Aug 19, 2026.

The site now sits zoned large-lot residential that nobody builds, so any future use would require rezoning — keeping the city's discretion intact.
