The Docket

4,630 records and counting — 115 still ahead across 49 states. Rezoning and power-contract votes surface here before they happen; hearings and town halls while there’s still time to show up. Nothing is ever deleted — what passes into the past stays on the record, so you can trace what was proposed, who showed up, and what it led to.

What’s coming up — and where to show up. Every record cites its primary source.

How the Docket works

Every record here is a dated civic fact — a government meeting with a data-center project on the published agenda, a council vote, a hearing, a rally, a deadline. Upcoming items tell you where to show up; showing up is how towns win. Past items never come off the record: they are the research archive of what was proposed, when, and where. Every record carries a permanent ID and cites its primary source — usually the government’s own published document.
