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.

Underlying source
Source notes
Early-stage proposal on the grounds of the former Sugar Hill Golf Course along Route 5 (East Lake Road). Town Supervisor Rich Lewis characterised the project's stage as "we're on step negative one. We're not even to one yet." As of September 2026, no megawatt figure or investment had been stated by the applicant in the sources reviewed — a board member's reference to "an $11 billion project" is a hypothetical raised in discussion, not an announced figure, and is not recorded. The recorded 44 acres is the size an April 9, 2026 WEED Inc. release gives for the Four Winds of Lake Erie, LLC property, formerly Sugar Hill. Coordinates are the golf-course polygon centroid; the built footprint is undefined.
