Current canonical record

This record tracks Hanton City Investments Smithfield Data Center in Rhode Island.

Revity Energy and property owner John Branca appeared before the Smithfield Town Council on March 17, 2026 with a business-park concept behind Fidelity Investments' Douglas Pike office park and across from Bryant University, with a data center described as the anchor tenant. Hanton City Investments LLC filed a town application on May 4, 2026 for a business complex including data centers, digital/data processing facilities, and/or data storage/processing facilities. Smithfield's Town Council voted 4-1 on May 5, 2026 to adopt a data-center zoning ban taking effect after 30 days, but local officials said the filed application would be reviewed under the prior zoning ordinance; project remains planned but faces a likely variance/legal hurdle. No reliable public MW or investment figure was located.
