The former mill site in Millinocket will soon be home to a sustainable data center- the greenest data center in the world. Nautilus Data Technologies, based out of California, will break ground on the $300 million project next year. A new chapter begins at the former site of Great Northern Paper. The mill closed permanently in 2008. “This data center will be unlike any in the world, using no greenhouse gas refrigerants or chemicals, produce no wastewater, make no noise, do no harm to fish and wildlife which we treasure,” explained Governor Janet Mills. “It’ll be the greenest data center in the world right here in Millinocket, Maine.”
