What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Maine data center developers amended the permit application for the Androscoggin Mill, changing its use from paper machines to computer equipment. Tony McDonald, the developer, secured a contract with Central Maine Power for the project, which is expected to be operational by early 2029. The permit changes also cover the redevelopment of the parking lot for HVAC and the mill's backup generators.
