Proposed-site record
MillCompute's proposed Tier III AI data center would have reused about 85,000 square feet in Bates Mill No. 3, but Lewiston's council rejected the joint-development agreement unanimously on December 16, 2025. The 24 MW Phase I, up-to-125 MW exclusivity, possible cogeneration phase, tax reimbursement, and energy-subsidy terms remain proposed context; no energized, IT-load, water, wastewater, workload, or spent-funding amount is established.
This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.
Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.
Lewiston's proposed joint-development materials described tax reimbursement and an energy-subsidy obligation, with terms to be formalized in later agreements. The dataset's $300 million remains attributed proposed investment context, not spent money or a verified subsidy amount.
Source review September 9, 2026: Lewiston's official proposal materials describe the Bates Mill reuse and possible energy arrangements but do not establish a final water source, cooling method, withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater quantity.
Source review September 9, 2026: Lewiston's December 16, 2025 agenda said a 24 MW Phase I AI data center was feasible with city support and that a separate Phase II cogeneration facility remained under exploration; the proposed agreement also granted exclusivity for up to 125 MW of data-center infrastructure. These are distinct proposed/project figures, not approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
