Ohio community investments

Microsoft datacenters are part of the backbone of Ohio’s digital ecosystem. They empower government, businesses, and wider society to function and innovate—supporting each one of us with the critical infrastructure we have come to rely on. Our datacenters are essential to modern life—creating quality construction and operation jobs, supporting STEM skilling and education, and fostering meaningful community partnerships. We are committed to being a good neighbor that contributes to a sustainable future, promoting prosperity and well-being, while addressing societal challenges through our investments.

Microsoft’s investments in Central Ohio reflect our pledge to create local benefits where our employees live and work. From workforce development and sustainability projects to cultural enrichment and community partnerships, we are proud to help build a stronger future for all.
