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
The town received a letter proposing the concept of a data center on 80 acres of farmland at the corner of North Polzin Road and West Fenric Road, near dozens of homes; contact came through a San Diego-based consulting firm. Rock County planning staff described it as "more speculative" with no application filed, and the town board said no NDAs were signed.
Underlying source
Source notes
The third of three Rock County data center proposals: the other two are the City of Janesville / former GM site (Viridian Acquisitions), tracked separately as of September 2026 as APECS Data Center Campus (Former GM Assembly Plant), and the Town of Beloit quarry campus, tracked separately as of September 2026 as Project Cornmaze Data Center (Town of Beloit); as of October 2026, Panattoni Development Company's project page names Panattoni as the developer of the Cornmaze campus in the Town of Beloit and the Town of Turtle. This is in the unincorporated TOWN of Janesville, not the city. The end user has never been named; one leaked email referenced an entity called IGNIS, which, as of September 2026, no source consulted corroborates, so only what is verifiable is recorded as the operator. Coordinates are a street-level geocode of North Polzin Road, not a parcel.
