Developer of data center for Jay mill seeks exemption to proposed legislation

JGT2 Redevelopment, led by Tony McDonald, is seeking an exemption from proposed Maine state legislation (LD 307) that would impose a temporary moratorium on data centers. The Jay Select Board has voted to support drafting a letter to Gov. Janet Mills advocating for this exemption. The developer warns that without the exemption, their $550 million data center project at the former Androscoggin Mill site would be canceled.

Developer of data center for Jay mill seeks exemption to proposed state law

JGT2 Redevelopment is seeking an exemption from a proposed Maine state law, LD 307, which would impose a moratorium on data center permits. The company plans a smaller co-location data center at the former Androscoggin Mill site in Jay, arguing it will bring jobs and tax revenue without significant environmental or grid impacts, unlike larger hyperscale facilities. The Jay Select Board has agreed to support the exemption request to Governor Janet Mills.
