Data center’s plan for Millinocket marks milestone for mill site’s redevelopment

By Maureen Milliken

A $300 million data center will be the anchor and first tenant at the former Millinocket mill site, a major milestone for the redevelopment effort that looks to become a center for innovation and new forest industry products.

California-based Nautilus Data Technologies has signed a 99-year lease with site owner Our Katahdin. The center will be built on 13 acres of the 1,400-acre property, and engineering, permitting and development will begin immediately, officials said this weekend.

The first phase of the center is expected to open by late 2022, and when it’s fully built will feature 84,000 square feet of data space with plans to expand to 60 megawatts of critical IT load.
