Notes on the record
1,600-acre site (1,200 acres energy / 400 acres data center), 50MW starter phase, with a 6,000-acre expansion option. Nassau County is pursuing a 12-month moratorium in response. Re-checked 2026-09-10: Nassau County officials state they have no information about this project beyond NextNRG's original press release. CORRECTION-CANDIDATE, not independently verified this session (firstcoastnews.com 403'd on fetch): multiple secondary outlets report NextNRG's CEO has since said the company intends a solar/battery-storage project on the site rather than a data center. Recommend a follow-up fetch of a primary/verbatim source before changing status to cancelled.
