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

Site is near the historic Adams Power Plant and the NYPA Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant (2,675 MW combined capacity). Phase I planned as ~282,000 sq ft over 24 months from groundbreaking. Economic impact estimated at $2B over 20 years per MRB Group analysis commissioned by NFR. Developed by Niagara Falls Redevelopment (NFR, controlled by Milstein family) in partnership with Urbacon. No status change. The 4 June 2026 City Council vote settled an eminent-domain lawsuit and transferred 10 acres to the city; the mayor states explicitly it was not a data-center approval and that there is no timeline for work to begin. Remains proposed.

Site at 907 Falls St (Rainbow and John B. Daly Blvd); 600,000 sq ft across two phases; new electrical substation planned for the campus.
