The map below shows the exact location of the Viridium Tioga County facility near Owego, New York, USA.
Background
The project was developed by local entrepreneur Adam Weitsman, who owns and operates Upstate Shredding, the largest privately held steel recycling company on the east coast.[1] Upstate Shredding owns a steel yard next to a former manufacturing building 3 miles north of Owego, which Weitsman bought and repurposed into a mining operation designed for multiple digital currencies. The building is equipped for 10 MW of mining capacity.[2] Mr. Weitsman has suggested that mining capacity could increase substantially in the future, from his initial plans for a $25 million investment to $100 million.[3] Weitsman's company, Viridium, was created for his new cryptocurrency mining business.
