Licking County superintendents get more time to prepare after Intel, Microsoft delays

NEW ALBANY, Ohio (WCMH) -- Local leaders told NBC4 they worried major construction delays in Licking County could complicate revenue for school districts, but superintendents are taking new timelines in stride.

Microsoft's $1 billion data center investments were paused last week, not long after Intel's $28 billion Ohio One project was delayed again in February. Microsoft was set to build data centers in Heath, Hebron and New Albany, receiving various incentives, including property tax breaks.
