   Silicon Foundation purchased the ~15-acre former Centre Foundry property at 74 Warwood Avenue and announced a phased data center and energy campus.

Source notes

Phased plan: Phase 1 a 10-MW modular data center system with battery energy storage targeted for late 2026; Phase 2 expansion to 20–30 MW (reported as "as much as 100 megawatts" in 2027 by River News); Phase 3 a 100-MW regional compute hub. The planned capacity records the 100-MW full build-out. The foundry operated for more than 180 years until it closed in 2023. Under HB 2014 the project is exempt from county/municipal zoning and building permitting. Coordinates are the OSM address point for 74 Warwood Avenue, not a parcel-confirmed footprint.

Phase 1 is described as 10 MW drawn from the existing grid through the site's existing electrical substation, paired with battery energy storage; the development plan also cites on-site gas infrastructure for backup power. Stokes Energy is named as the EPC contractor.
