Project overview

Microsoft is building a datacenter in Hebron, Ohio. 

Why datacenters are needed

Datacenters provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacenter. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacenters every day to deliver goods and services to you.

Construction overview

Microsoft has contracted AMES Construction as the general contractor for the Hebron datacenter in Ohio. Construction is estimated to begin in February and be completed in November 2026, with the bulk of the work expected to occur between March and August.

• Together with our general contractor AMES Construction, we will keep neighbors informed in advance of construction work.
• Completion of construction does not indicate datacenter operation/availability.

Construction hours

Permitted construction hours are Monday to Friday 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM with Saturdays from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
