Turin Hoefler Avenue LLC proposes converting part of the former Remington Arms plant at 14 Hoefler Avenue in Ilion into AI data centers, after the 207-year-old gun factory closed in March 2024 and the 32-acre, 1.1-million-square-foot complex changed hands. Reporting describes two 250,000-square-foot data centers on Sites C and E totaling about 200 megawatts, with a substation planned on Site D and some existing buildings demolished, at an estimated cost of $2 billion to $3 billion. The developer has filed a Brownfield Cleanup Program application with the state Department of Environmental Conservation; an environmental assessment found contamination at the site.

Timeline

  1. Remington announces it will close the Ilion plant, ending more than two centuries of arms manufacturing in the village [4]

  2. Remington Arms closes the Ilion factory, which employed about 300 people; the property is later sold to Turin Hoefler Avenue LLC [1]

  3. An environmental assessment of the Remington Arms site finds contamination [3]

  4. Reporting describes plans for two 250,000 sq ft data centers totaling 200 MW on the former plant site, with an online petition against the proposal gathering more than 150 signatures [1]

  5. Gov. Kathy Hochul signs Executive Order No. 62, pausing state DEC permits for data centers of 50 MW or more [5]

Issues raised

  • An environmental assessment of the former arms plant found contamination, and the developer has entered the state Brownfield Cleanup Program [1][3]
  • A local online petition opposing the proposal had gathered more than 150 signatures by April 2026 [1]
  • The closure of the Remington plant in March 2024 cost the village roughly 300 jobs, which frames the local economic argument for reuse [1][4]
  • At 200 MW the project falls above the 50 MW threshold in the July 2026 state executive order pausing DEC permits [5]
