What the source record says
Site is near the historic Adams Power Plant and the NYPA Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant (2,675 MW combined capacity). Phase I planned as ~282,000 sq ft over 24 months from groundbreaking. Economic impact estimated at $2B over 20 years per MRB Group analysis commissioned by NFR. Developed by Niagara Falls Redevelopment (NFR, controlled by Milstein family) in partnership with Urbacon. NO STATUS CHANGE. The 4 June 2026 City Council vote settled an eminent-domain lawsuit and transferred 10 acres to the city; the mayor states explicitly it was not a data-center approval and that there is no timeline for work to begin. Remains proposed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
