About Our Team

The WHO and WHY of FCDC

While Franklin County Data Center's origins can be traced back to Ohio laws passed more than 50 years ago—in an era of mainframes and punch cards—our team today is energized by a vibrant vision of a digital-first future for our County colleagues and the local communities they serve. But to be the best partners on this 21st century journey, we must first be clear about who we are and why we are here.
