Provider notes
Energy. The owner committed to no additional electrical draw beyond the site's existing capacity; the operator lists 6.75 MW of UPS capacity
Water. The owner committed to no increase in water consumption and is converting the site to a closed-loop cooling system as part of the modernization (Westfair, 2026-08-12); the current heat-rejection method is not stated
Community. A resident petition passed 1,200 signatures by July and 1,445 by 2026-08-12, asking for a moratorium and a joint public meeting. The Town Council passed a two-year moratorium on new data centers on 2026-09-11 that explicitly excludes the 80 Merritt Blvd modernization, which residents objected to.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced investment: Row notes expressly say no investment figure was published for the current facility.
- AI-use label (provider): AI-focused upgrades are only under evaluation and LOIs are not signed for this site.
What the source record says
Existing 228,000 sq ft building at 80 Merritt Blvd, Trumbull, CT, built in 1960 (originally for Nasdaq per the operator's account); currently operated by CogNovum. Aphorio Carter acquired the property in 2024. On 2026-05-06, 365 Data Centers and Aphorio Carter announced a ~200MW AI-ready data-center pipeline across six US markets; Trumbull is named as a site 'under evaluation' for AI-focused upgrades to this existing building, with letters of intent not yet signed for it (only Aurora, CO and Simpsonville, KY had signed LOIs as of the release). The operator's CEO described the plan as upgrading an existing facility on existing power infrastructure, not new construction: "We are simply updating an existing, historic facility to ensure we can continue serving our customers effectively, while supporting the town with local jobs and substantial tax revenue." No MW, investment, or job-count figures were published for the current facility. Coordinates cross-checked: US Census geocoder (41.240871, -73.146313) and the OSM building footprint (41.2407281, -73.1474121) agree within ~100m; the OSM point is used per the mapped-building preference. Flagging for awareness, not asserted as fact: OSM's building tag for this address (as retrieved 2026-09-12) reads "Digital Realty New York HVN10," which is not corroborated by any 2026 source found in this search and may reflect a prior/stale ownership label rather than current fact.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Update this profile with a public source. The request includes topics needing more information; this does not mean the facility lacks them. Corrections and additions are reviewed before publication.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
