SHALERSVILLE PROJECT overview
The proposed project is a two-phased Technology Information Center project at the Turnpike Commerce Center in Shalersville Township, Portage County, Ohio. Between both phases, the park will contain a total of 15 buildings, collectively under 1,000,000 SF. The project is intentionally designed within the constraints of the community in mind. It will operate within the existing confines of the site’s water systems, bring its own power directly to the property, and employ cutting edge sound-mitigation technologies.
The User is requesting no tax abatement or other financial incentives from the community, and plans on up to 200 Full Time Jobs after full buildout.

What is a Technology information Center?
T.I.C's are facilities that are designed for efficiency. Instead of one massive building. Bitdeer uses smaller, modular structures that house computers for processing tasks from local AI needs to network security.
