More on the proposed data center in Shalersville

05/28/2026

A Singapore-based cryptocurrency company wants to build a hyperscale datacenter in Shalersville between Rte 44 and the Cuyahoga River (just north of the I-80 Turnpike).

Our friends at https://www.facebook.com/groups/portageresponsibledevelopment/ are planning a response.

See https://www.portageresists.org/home/shalersville-data-center on how to get involved.
