Power and water

The applicant describes single-phase immersion cooling as a 'closed-loop system' that sends heat to heat exchangers for reuse or dissipation. It says no water is needed for normal cooling, but the application still includes a six-inch water service, and city staff asked when water would be used.

Notes on the record

Northpoint Engineering, LLC is the applicant. Granite Municipal Manufacturing & Sales, LLC owns the land and is developing it; it bought the land in 2024. The parcel is nearly 21 acres, of which about 9.3 are buildable. About 54,780 sq ft of wooded buffer was cleared beforehand. No power capacity or investment figure has been published. The coordinates match the OSM address point for 52 Locke Road; the Census geocoder puts it about 600 m away. Precision is approximate.

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.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.
