LORDSTOWN - Work is underway to convert the former GM assembly plant in Lordstown into a data center equipment manufacturing site as part of the Stargate project.
Recent documents filed with the Trumbull County Recorder's office and approved by the Ohio EPA show that its new owner, Crescent Dune LLC, is looking to "modernize existing manufacturing plant and complete expansions" within the six-million-square-foot facility.
The plant, which was purchased by Foxconn in 2022, was subsequently sold to Crescent Dune. However, Foxconn will continue to operate within the facility, alongside the Stargate partners, including Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle.
21 News reported the sale and plan for the facility in August. The plant was sold to Crescent Dune for $375 million.
