Columbus Business First recently interviewed AEP Vice President of Economic and Business Development Mark James for two articles on AEP’s role in driving development in our 11-state territory.

Specific highlights included AEP’s role in Amazon Web Services data center’s data center announcements in Central Ohio and our Quality Sites Program, which pre-certifies development sites for businesses looking to open a new facility.
