Provider notes
Water. Operator specifies a closed-loop cooling system with zero process water use during operations. The City of Avondale restricts water-cooled data centers, considering only closed-loop, air-cooled facilities.
Community. Avondale Mayor Mike Pineda is quoted (2026-05-21 release) praising the $3B+ investment and its closed-loop cooling design. No opposition, resident concerns, or hearing record documented in this source. Checked: operator press release only.

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.
