Notes on the record
Redevelopment of the former Delta View Golf Course (76 acres) into a 3-phase Pittsburg Technology Park; Phase 1 is the ~300,000 sq ft Perseus Data Center, targeting first occupancy in 2027. Status corrected to 'permitted' (not 'proposed'): the project holds a CEC opt-in certification (99 MW, Dec 8 2025) and a City of Pittsburg Commercial Design Review approval (Dec 11 2025, modified Feb 12 2026); no source confirms groundbreaking/construction has started. capacityMw.planned=99 reflects the CEC-certified figure, superseding an earlier ~92MW target; the Specific Plan's long-term ceiling of up to 500MW across the full technology park is undated/speculative and not recorded here. Investment ($800M+) is AVAIO's own Dec 2024 disclosure, widely syndicated but not independently audited. Jobs figures are not disclosed anywhere found and are omitted. aiClassification set to 'likely': AVAIO's own materials use explicit 'AI and cloud-driven deployments' language but do not publish GPU/HPC-specific technical specs. The Center for Biological Diversity's CEQA lawsuit (Case No. N24-2162, filed Dec 2024) was SETTLED in Dec 2025 (CBD agreed not to oppose Phase 1 in exchange for 100% renewable/carbon-free electricity, rooftop solar, 100% recycled water for cooling, wildlife monitoring, and a $750,000 community climate-resiliency payment) - it is not an active legal threat, though broader public opposition continues (see community).
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- 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.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
