Conflicts and corrections
An earlier draft gave case MCP250001. The county agenda lists MCP250007, so the page uses that.
An earlier draft placed the site north of Olive Road and west of Litchfield Road. The county agenda places it between 195th and 199th avenues, so the page uses the county description.
What this page does not establish
- The county's decision on MCP250007.
- Air permit status with ADEQ.
- Water source (the county says it does not supply water, fire or sewer service for this case).
What to check next
- Get the county's decision on MCP250007.
- Check ADEQ's air-permit docket for the gas plant.
- Confirm the data center's megawatts and water source with the developer.
