SoftBank has broken ground on a Stargate data center at the former Lordstown, Ohio industrial site. OpenAI says the campus is part of a two-site SoftBank partnership capable of scaling to 1.5 GW across the pair, with Lordstown targeted for operation in 2026; 750 MW is therefore a shared-program allocation, not confirmed operating load.
