Project record
Region 1 project site identity enrichment (Task 4A). This remains a DCRM working project identity, not an asserted official project name, unless/until an official project identity is established. Site is the former Sugar Hill Golf Course, Route 5 / Lake Erie shoreline, in the Town of Portland, Chautauqua County, NY -- the Westfield, NY mailing address on file for the property does not change this canonical municipal jurisdiction. Controlled Region 1 site research supplied through this task establishes the numbered mailing address 7060 East Lake Road, Westfield, NY 14787 (also referenced as 7060 Route 5). The Four Winds of Lake Erie LLC is named in supplied research as a property association for the site; its role as developer of record has not been established, so no developer_company_id is assigned. Current research indicates this is an early proposed/potential data-center development; no formal application or site plan has been established in the controlled information supplied to this task, so no development footprint, megawatt capacity, parcel boundary, or developer beyond the above is asserted. This information is supplied controlled research pending canonical evidence attachment; it does not change verification_status. Latitude/longitude remain NULL and location_precision remains unknown -- no coordinate, including any previously discussed approximate golf-course coordinate, is asserted here.
