Ken Prendergast at NEOtrans, still the only source of actual reporting on this story, says the Lakeland Equity permit application for a hyperscale data center in Slavic Village was nixed because no drawings were included. They can resubmit, but maybe not in time to evade proposed City moratorium.

Genuinely puzzled. Two weeks ago tomorrow, neo-trans.blog revealed that an investment group plans to put a 150 MW hyperscale data center on a vacant lot in a Cleveland neighborhood. Big controversy. But Cleveland.com has still not mentioned it. Are they just sulking about Prendergast scooping them?
For non-Clevelanders: "GCP" is the Greater Cleveland Partnership -- the local Chamber of Commerce. Slavic Village is a working-class/poor neighborhood in the city's southeast side. The developer got his data center permit request denied on a technicality (no drawings) but can re-apply.
