Data centers are clean facilities that do not generate industrial pollutants or hazardous waste. The primary environmental consideration is sanitary wastewater (restrooms, sinks), which is handled through code-compliant septic systems. All operations comply with applicable environmental regulations, including EPA standards and local ordinances.

Our facilities use closed-loop cooling technology that minimizes water consumption. Our water usage will be comparable to a standard office building - primarily for restrooms, basic facility operations, and humidification, not for cooling equipment.

A closed-loop cooling system is a self-contained system that continuously circulates water within the building to remove heat without mixing with the external environment. After the initial fill, there is no daily water usage for cooling since the system remains closed. A small amount of make-up water may be added periodically to account for minor evaporation.

This cooling approach is standard across all new CyrusOne facilities, which means we won't be drawing significant amounts of water from local supplies, and our minimal water usage will not affect local water rates or availability.

The closed-loop cooling system is a sealed, self-contained system with no discharge to soil or septic system. The system uses water with corrosion inhibitors and microbiocides added to maintain system integrity. After application of these treatments, the system remains 99.999% water. All system fluids are managed by licensed contractors in accordance with EPA regulations. Any maintenance requiring fluid disposal is handled by certified vendors in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Our cooling systems and emergency generators are designed to meet and exceed all local noise regulations. Our design team includes acoustic consultants who measure expected noise levels at property boundaries to ensure compliance before construction begins. We use low-noise fans, sound-attenuated compressor enclosures, sound-attenuated generator enclosures, and critical-grade exhaust silencers on our generators. Backup generators run minimally per year for maintenance and testing purposes, and in rare cases of utility outages.

Noise Mitigation:

• Sound-attenuated cooling equipment
• Sound-attenuated emergency backup generator enclosures
• Critical-grade exhaust silencers on emergency backup generators
• Strategic setbacks from property lines
• Acoustic barriers where needed

Light Mitigation:

• All exterior lighting directed downward with no uplighting
• Shielded fixtures to prevent light spill beyond property boundaries
• Design minimizes light pollution to preserve dark skies

The campus will utilize the electrical grid to power the facilities. We have entered into an agreement with AES Ohio to serve our data center campus as well as to continue to ensure reliable power supplies during times of grid scarcity and help provide our community and Ohioans the affordable and reliable energy they deserve.

Once fully operational, the campus will support a growing team of skilled professionals operating critical infrastructure 24/7/365 - including data center technicians, network engineers, electrical and mechanical engineers, facility managers, cybersecurity specialists, and operational support staff. These are high-paying technology careers that provide family-sustaining wages and long-term job security. As the campus expands over time with additional buildings, employment grows proportionally, creating an enduring economic anchor for the region.

Construction will also create hundreds of jobs over the multi-year build period across various trades and skilled labor. We are committed to prioritizing regional workforce through Champaign County workforce development programs, ensuring local workers and contractors get first opportunity. Once approved, CyrusOne will host a local Career Fair with our construction and trade partners for the community to ensure local hiring and local networking opportunities.

We are committed to transparency and community engagement. We will speak to the community if the County's established review process includes public hearings where community members can ask questions and provide input.

We have also:

• Provided a comprehensive Community FAQ & microsite addressing key concerns
• Made ourselves available at Info@UrbanaTechnologyHub.com for direct questions
• Engaged with local officials and community leaders
• Offered to participate in community forums
• Once approved, we host a local Career Fair with fully paid scholarships for data center technician certificates

We remain committed to answering questions and addressing concerns throughout the review process and welcome opportunities to engage with the community through appropriate forums.

S US Hwy 68, Urbana, Champaign County, OH 43078. Approximately 40 miles northwest of Columbus, OH.

This site and area was selected as it is well positioned for data center development due to the availability of land, zoning, and power infrastructure capabilities along with workforce access and proximity to the Columbus metro area.
