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.

Boone District Supervisor Mike Meredith announced the county had received verification that the project would not move forward. No agreements were ever reached and no votes were taken on data center development in Franklin County.
Underlying source
Source notes
Project surfaced via Freedom of Information Act requests to Franklin County; the county had been in discussions with Crusoe since November 2025. County-owned Summit View Business Park totals 540 acres along US 220 and reportedly has grid and natural gas infrastructure; roughly 150 acres of it were under discussion. DCD reported the project 'may total 50-100MW' — a range, not a settled figure, so no capacity value is recorded here.
