What the source record says
Status is "proposed", not "cancelled": Holyoke's City Council voted 9-4 on 2026-06-17 to ban AI data centers above 12 MW, which would bar this 20 MW project as designed, but the developer stated "We're not closing the door - and we hope Holyoke won't either" and had neither filed permits nor bought the property. The coordinate is the OSM-mapped former Hampden Paper Co building at the cited address, marked approximate because the proposal covers the wider complex. The 20 MW is the developer's stated figure; $200M is the reported project cost for this site only. Holyoke's ban explicitly exempts the tracked MGHPCC.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source

Boston-based Chestnut River Power and Infrastructure publicly sought the former Hampden Papers complex at 100 Water Street for a 20-megawatt "micro facility"; WAMC reports no permits filed and no property purchased at that point.
