Provider notes
Energy. Served by Forest Grove Light & Power (municipal), which purchases ~90% of its power from the Bonneville Power Administration (hydro-dominant); Crane built a developer-funded on-site 115 kV substation (no on-site generation).
Water. Phase 1 confirmed air-based cooling (City Community Development Director; Crane CEO): the company 'has not applied to use water cooling for its first building ... will rely on air-based cooling, limiting water consumption to typical plumbing needs.' A 2023 release mentioned recycled water for cooling (likely a later phase).
Community. Two-round appeal fight: planning staff approved (July 2024); a resident appeal was denied by the Planning Commission (4-2, Sept 3, 2024); a further appeal was denied by City Council (5-0, Oct 14, 2024). Opposition centered on building scale (~75 ft), shadowing of homes, wetlands/habitat, and grid strain. The project prevailed; no lawsuit found.
What the source record says
PDX01 data center campus in Forest Grove, Washington County; 76 MW by 2026. Coordinates are the Forest Grove area centroid. Development cost not disclosed (partner: Principal Asset Management) -> investmentUsd omitted. No job counts disclosed -> jobs honest-zero. Crane markets property-tax / enterprise-zone incentives, but no signed agreement is on record (statewide Oregon EZ moratorium eff. June 2026) -> subsidy honest-zero.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
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.
