Provider notes
Community. Sits on a 71-acre site holding three existing empty warehouses, west of Sills Road on the north side of the LIE North Service Road, ~1,000 feet from a residential neighborhood. Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico proposed an 18-month town moratorium on data centers (expected to pass unanimously per a town spokesperson, reported 2026-07); other Suffolk town supervisors reportedly support it. New York State separately imposed a moratorium on new hyperscale (50MW+) data centers in 2026 that also covers this 176.6MW project. Residents cited electricity, water, and noise concerns. …

What the source record says
No confirmed street address found as of 2026-09-13 -- sources describe the parcel only as 'west of Sills Road, north side of the LIE North Service Road' in Yaphank. Coordinates are the Yaphank hamlet centroid (OSM Nominatim), NOT the parcel -- disclosed here per contract rule H; do not treat as parcel-level precision.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
