Proposed-site record

Former Remington Gun Factory Data Center

High-priority redevelopment proposal for the former Remington Arms factory at 14 Hoefler Avenue in Ilion. Turin's environmental-review filing supports a proposed two-phase, 250,000-square-foot-per-phase data-center reuse, while the mayor said no tenant was committed. Reported 200 MW facility context and separate NYISO load-request leads do not reconcile to confirmed operating or IT-load capacity.

Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the Brownfield Cleanup Program application and reported $2-3 billion project context establish redevelopment and environmental-review leads, not a public subsidy or spent amount. Project-specific cleanup funding, tax credits, infrastructure, and PILOT records remain unresolved.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the Ilion mayor said the former factory historically relied mainly on its own well system and that the village supplied limited potable water. The reviewed materials disclose no data-center water demand, cooling method, withdrawal permit, or wastewater capacity; local service and environmental records remain open.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: New York environmental-review materials identify Turin Hoefler Avenue LLC's multi-site Brownfield Cleanup Program application at 14 Hoefler Avenue, while reporting based on the filings describes two 250,000-square-foot data-center phases and approximately 200 MW total. A separate NYISO lead lists 100 MW initial and 400 MW incremental load requests, but that sizing was not independently reconciled to the facility plan. The dataset's 200-500 MW remains unclassified project/interconnection context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
