A shuttered Maine paper mill is being converted for a large data center, driven by job creation and state incentives despite permitting and power concerns.
McCarthy Development, a Los Gatos-based real estate firm that is floating the proposal, intends to bulldoze five buildings on the site and replace them with three new buildings, according to the proposal. Designed as a high-end industrial campus, the facility can support advanced manufacturing, research and development, technology, some warehouse, and office uses, McCarthy Development stated in project plans. The three new buildings are slated to total 437,600 square feet.
