NE Edge Waterford
Host municipality fee agreement
Waterford, Connecticut
NE Edge proposed two data centers on Dominion’s Millstone property. The host agreement sets annual and milestone payments to Waterford, alongside noise review and building-efficiency requirements.
The contract requires permit applications within 36 months for the first building and 60 months for the second, with extensions for appeals. Later claims that the agreement ended have not been established by a retrieved town termination record.
