Notes on the record
⚠️ LOW-CERTAINTY BY CONSTRUCTION - included because a 1,000 MW load is the largest proposed in New York found in this run, and excluded fields say why. confidence is 'rumored' and status 'proposed' rather than 'cancelled': the town supervisor confirmed on May 11, 2025 that "no site plan, special permit application, zoning request, or other development application has been submitted to the town for review," and the developer "has never submitted a formal application for the project nor a site plan" - yet the project was still described as under evaluation in the NYISO process when the town passed its moratorium on June 25, 2026, so it is not affirmatively dead either. Teaneck, NJ-based Treetop Development is evaluating converting land currently planned for "a 1,161,515 SF warehouse" (scaled down to 765,000 square feet in other reporting) into "a 1,000-megawatt (1-gigawatt) data center." capacityMw.planned = 1000 is that stated figure, unconverted. Confirmed absences (2026-09-09): NEITHER fetched source gives a street, parcel, acreage, square footage for the data center itself, investment, job count, water figure, utility, or subsidy agreement; secondary reporting places the site "off of I-84 and Lime Kiln Road" but that was NOT verified in a fetched source, so no street is recorded and coordinates are a TOWN-LEVEL placeholder for East Fishkill, Dutchess County. If the maintainer's bar is a filed application, this record should be dropped.
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
- Land area
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use

- 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.
