Record Notes

OpenAI lists Lordstown, Ohio as one of the Stargate sites announced in September 2025. OpenAI says the Lordstown site is being developed through a SoftBank and OpenAI partnership and had broken ground on an advanced data-center design that was on track, from that announcement date, to be operational next year. The Business Journal reported preparation work at the former GM plant in Lordstown and described the site as a proof-of-concept data center inside the broader Stargate initiative. The verified source set does not support Microsoft as the selected operator, does not publish a standalone 600 MW Lordstown facility capacity, and does not support a selected nuclear-energy claim. OpenAI's 1.5 GW scale statement applies to Lordstown and Milam County, Texas together, so ADCI keeps selected Lordstown capacity unknown.
