Power and water

Developer described a proposed closed-loop water system to minimize consumption.

Notes on the record

Developer says the project would require roughly 300 acres and $100 to 150 million of infrastructure improvements (roads, bridges, water system), with an unnamed hyperscale end user. Those are stated requirements, not a secured site or a total project investment, so neither landAcres nor investmentUsd is asserted. Coordinates are the town of Akron; no parcel has been identified publicly.

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
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
Which utility serves 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.
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.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
