Proposed-site record

Kalkaska Data Center

Rocklocker withdrew the Kalkaska Go proposal in November 2025 after public opposition to a prospective 1,440-acre state-land campus. Public project material described a 1-gigawatt concept with onsite generation and carbon capture, but no utility, interconnection, water, wastewater, energized, or IT-load record was established; the dataset's 1,000 MW remains historical proposal context.

Public Money

No public funding record attached yet. Local subsidy, tax-abatement, land, bond, and utility records need follow-up.

Water

Water source, cooling method, withdrawal permits, and wastewater impacts need local sourcing.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Rocklocker and Kalkaska Go described a proposed 1-gigawatt campus with an onsite natural-gas power plant and carbon-capture concept, but the developer withdrew the proposal in November 2025 after public opposition and did not acquire or develop the public-land site. The dataset's 1,000 MW remains historical proposal/project-power context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
