On September 14, 2026, Frederick County rejected the Catellus development-rights and community-benefits agreement application and extended its pause on new data center applications to July 1, 2027. These actions do not amount to cancellation of all previously approved parcels or the entire Frederick campus. Quantum Loophole’s Frederick campus is a large-scale data center development area in Adamstown, Maryland, planned around dedicated fiber, power and shared infrastructure. Public materials describe a multi-tenant campus opportunity extending toward approximately 2.8 GW at full build, but phase-by-phase power delivery and tenant occupancy remain prospective. The figure is a design ceiling, not operating IT load. Local land-use conditions, transmission upgrades, environmental permits, tenants and construction financing remain material execution items.
