Notes on the record
Six structures totalling nearly 1.1 million sq ft, each up to 130 feet tall, on 131 acres on the south side of Breaker Street between Hill Street and the Casey Highway. The developer, a West Conshohocken firm, has separately proposed a 487,000 sq ft data center near Sunnyside Road and Alberigi Drive in Jessup, a different parcel, not recorded here. Distinct from the tracked Triboro Industrial Park record (different developer and parcel in the same borough).
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.
