Forty West Landfill
BrownfieldHagerstown, Maryland
Forty West Landfill is a former landfill site in Hagerstown, Maryland. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 2 MW of generation, so the grid hookup, transmission rights, and often cooling-water access are already in place — collapsing the speed-to-power timeline versus a greenfield build.
