Planning for Jay data center moves forward, but deal not yet final

SUN JOURNAL • November 10, 2026

A proposed $550 million data center at the former Androscoggin Mill is showing signs of life again, with its original development partner back in discussions and a public meeting tentatively planned for December. Town Manager Shiloh LaFreniere told the Select Board on Monday, Nov. 9, that JGT2 Redevelopment LLC, owner of the former mill property on Riley Road, has resumed efforts to move forward with Sentinel Data Centers, which withdrew from the project in June. The renewed discussions could revive one of Jay’s most significant redevelopment proposals since the paper mill closed in 2023.
