JGT2 Redevelopment, which had been planning to partner with Sentinel on the $550 million project, informed Jay officials that Sentinel does not now intend to move forward with the project.

“JGT2 is pursuing conversations with other interested parties, but the data center project is currently on hold,” Jay officials posted on Facebook this week. “Future plans are yet to be determined.”
