The record, newest first
The City Council amended the redevelopment plan to remove data centers and require a park. (Tech Newsday, Feb. 23, 2026; DatacenterDynamics, Feb. 2026; Town Topics, March 18, 2026)
Conflicts and open questions
- The 22 acres is the redevelopment area, not the data center's footprint.
- DCD calls the outcome a denial; Tech Newsday says no formal proposal had been filed, so this is kept as stalled.
- Coordinates are approximate, from the reported cross streets.
The full record

- No formal proposal was filed, per Tech Newsday; the council removed data centers as a permitted use and restored a park requirement.
