Washington County Rubble Landfill #1
BrownfieldWilliamsport, Maryland
Washington County Rubble Landfill #1 is a former landfill site in Williamsport, Maryland. Retired generation sites are among the most attractive datacenter redevelopment targets: the existing interconnection was sized for roughly 3 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.
