A1 Data Center Transforms Former Glass Factory Into Power-Driven Innovation Campus in Millville, New Jersey

A1 Data Center announced plans to transform an abandoned Millville glass factory into a 1-gigawatt, power-first campus on a reclaimed brownfield site — a new model that pairs on-site power generation with environmental remediation, water recycling, workforce training, and community reinvestment. Highlights include a 100 MW substation scalable to 1 GW, on-site generation with renewable integration, a DEP-compliant water treatment and recycling system that returns clean water to local aquifers, and hundreds of high-wage jobs. As spokesperson Jennifer Lleras put it, the goal is a blueprint for infrastructure built in partnership with the community it serves.
