Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Source notes

Nine two-story data center buildings plus an administration building, a water building and a security building, totalling about 2.1-2.2 million sq ft, off Lofty Road near Route 309 and Interstate 81, across from van Hoekelen Greenhouses. Buildings stated as 'probably less than 80 feet' tall; first building completion expected 2028. Lofty Road is to be realigned near Route 309 with a new traffic light at Amazon's cost. Stated wages for the ~500 permanent roles are $80,000-$100,000, with about 90% requiring an associate degree or certificate.
