So, Jay's support for this data center project wasn't a fluke.
It wasn't secrecy.
It wasn't a divide between town leadership and the town.
It wasn't opposition to a statewide moratorium.
What it was has everything to do with a specific place, the piece of land where this data center will go.
Around the country, AI data centers are replacing forests and farmland, fertile soil maintained by farmers for decades, dug up, filled with cement.
But in J, the data center would go into the site of a paper mill.
Well, not a paper mill exactly, the paper mill.
The mill is the heart of J. At its peak, it employed 1,500 people.
One resident told me that without the mill, Jay would have no reason to exist.
A few years ago, at the blink of an eye, Jay lost its reason for existing, suddenly and violently.
Then it went searching for a new one.
One thing I heard in Jay is that if I wanted to understand what the town feels about the mill and the status center, there's something I needed to know about Maine.
There's two Maynes.
There's two Maynes.
That's Patrick Hopkins.
He's a carpenter from Jay.
The first Maine is vacation land.
It's the coast, lighthouses, lobster.
It's more of an idea than a place.
