Opposition and litigation at this site

The record carries no reception finding for FirstLight Brunswick Data Center in Brunswick, Cumberland County, Maine, but it does carry this note as of October 22, 2026: While adopting a 180-day moratorium on new data centers of 1 MW or more (June 2026), Brunswick town leaders said the existing FirstLight facility at Brunswick Landing has not been a problem and does not store AI data.

Power and water

2N facility. Dual independent 750 kW generators. A renovation begun in summer 2024 doubled the site's power capacity (no absolute figure published).

Notes on the record

OSM directly names the building 'Oxford Networks' at this exact address (way/667796922) -- Oxford Networks is a legacy regional-ISP brand confirmed (via a redirect from its own website, as of September 2026) to now route to firstlight.net, i.e. the same FirstLight Fiber corporate family reported in Baxtel's listing. US Census had no match for this street (likely too new for the TIGER address-range dataset -- 'Resilient Circle' is a newly-named street at the redeveloped former Brunswick Naval Air Station business park), so the OSM building match is the only geocode available here. Baxtel lists the facility as 'fully operational' with power/space figures redacted; no numeric MW capacity confirmed.

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
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
How the community has received it
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.
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.
Land area: 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.
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.
