Campus on 247 acres of farmland at county roads 14 and 23 north of Bristol, with roughly a million square feet of single-story buildings over a five-to-seven year build. The Province Group is acting for an undisclosed tech company; the rezoning requires both county council and Bristol Town Council action.
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
- 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.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
