Notes on the record
Sited in the Maysville Industrial Park in Jackson County (Maysville straddles the Jackson/Banks county line). Investment figures circulating in regional coverage could not be retrieved from a primary page as of September 2026 and are not recorded. The planned capacity is from Northern Data Group's December 2024 announcement, which states the 63-acre site "will deliver 120MW, with capacity to expand to 180MW" and gives no investment figure. Coordinates are approximate to Maysville.
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- 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.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
