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.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Hanton City Investments LLC (Ryan Polumbo of Revity Energy and John Branca) filed a zoning application for an industrial/warehousing park with a data center anchor tenant on undeveloped woodland near the Fidelity Investments campus. The application was filed May 4, 2026 — one day before the Smithfield Town Council voted 4-1 to ban data centers. No megawatt capacity has been publicly disclosed.
Underlying source
Source notes
No megawatt capacity has been publicly disclosed, so no capacity is recorded. The $59M figure cited in coverage is projected town tax revenue over 30 years, not facility investment, so it is not recorded as investment. Additional coverage (Rhode Island Current, ecoRI News) could not be retrieved as of July 2026 and is not cited; as of October 2026, the cited press coverage is the Ocean State Media and Valley Breeze articles. Coordinates are approximate Smithfield-area coordinates.
