Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 30, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Energy & Innovation Park Data Center (480 Myrtle Street) in New Britain, Hartford County, Connecticut 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.

Planned to be supplied by the adjacent 19.98 MW Bloom Energy fuel-cell microgrid on the same campus

Notes on the record

Colocation data center planned inside the former Stanley Black & Decker factory on Myrtle Street, anchored by a 19.98 MW fuel-cell microgrid (tracked separately as generate-nb-fuel-cells-new-britain-ct). Hartford Business Journal (2022) describes a '$1 billion, 44-megawatt' colocation project first proposed in 2018. That investment figure covers the whole redevelopment, fuel cells included, not the data center alone. Baxtel describes Phase II (data center in the main factory building) as following Phase I (the fuel-cell grid). No fetched source shows data-center construction or a tenant as of 2026-09-30. A $55.2M sales-tax exemption appears in DCD coverage, but that page returned HTTP 403 and is not cited or recorded.

  • 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.

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.
