Provider notes
Energy. Site at 907 Falls St (Rainbow and John B. Daly Blvd); 600,000 sq ft across two phases; new electrical substation planned for the campus.
Community. Planning Board rejected modified application in December 2025. By early 2026 Mayor Restaino adopted conciliatory tone, proposing a two-project solution accommodating both data center and Centennial Park. New application incorporating additional Falls Street parcels filed April 2026.
What the source record says
Site is near the historic Adams Power Plant and the NYPA Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant (2,675 MW combined capacity). Phase I planned as ~282,000 sq ft over 24 months from groundbreaking. Economic impact estimated at $2B over 20 years per MRB Group analysis commissioned by NFR. Developed by Niagara Falls Redevelopment (NFR, controlled by Milstein family) in partnership with Urbacon. NO STATUS CHANGE. The 4 June 2026 City Council vote settled an eminent-domain lawsuit and transferred 10 acres to the city; the mayor states explicitly it was not a data-center approval and that there is no timeline for work to begin. Remains proposed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
