Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 21, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Arsenal Data Site (Arconic Massena Operations) in Massena, St. Lawrence County, New York appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

NYISO queue lists NYPA as interconnecting utility and National Grid as affected transmission owner, POI Denniston Substation.

Notes on the record

Lead only: known from three NYISO large-load queue positions filed by Arconic Corporation in March 2025 (250/500/1,000 MW alternatives, not summed here), all at the Denniston/Dennison substation. No site plan, permit application or public announcement was found this session; a local report that Arconic wants to use excess plant space for a ~933 MW data center could not be fetched (nny360 rate-limited). Apollo Global Management owns both Arconic and Stream Data Centers. Coordinates are the OSM landuse centroid for Arconic Massena Operations, not a data-center parcel.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
