Opposition and litigation at this site

Yes. Scarborough Technology Park (Scarborough High Technology Industrial Park) Data Center in Scarborough, Cumberland County, Maine is contested. Hearings, public comment, petitions, or organized opposition are on record. The town planning office rejected the April 20, 2026 master plan as incomplete.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.

The town planning office rejected the April 20, 2026 master plan as incomplete. It cited missing aquifer and historic-site information, proof of utility service, and noise, odor and traffic commitments. The Town Council then took up a 180-day data center moratorium, retroactive to applications filed on or after April 1, which the developer says unfairly targets the project. The moratorium was enacted in June 2026.

Power and water

The master plan proposes natural gas-fed solid oxide fuel cells for power (Maine Public, 2026-05-06).

The master plan proposes a closed-loop water cooling system (Maine Public, 2026-05-06).

Notes on the record

About 52 acres just west of the Maine Turnpike, owned by Daniel Dickinson since 2022. The master plan proposes a two-story building for contracted data processing. No street address, MW, or investment figure has been published. The pin is the Scarborough town centroid (OSM relation 12166255), not the parcel, so precision is approximate. The town manager says the application is not considered pending. A third-party tracker lists it as cancelled, but no withdrawal by the developer was found.

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
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.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

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.
