The Largest Public Archive of Data-Center Buildout News · Updated Hourly

The National Record Index

We have logged 31,411 headlines and public records, drawn from a monitored network of 32,259+ sources — every data-center, power, water, and tax-abatement story we track, sorted into streams.

We are the first source to report
  • Newly filed data-center projects — anywhere in America, in this index within the hour.
  • Rezoning and power-contract votes before they happen — they surface here early, not after the campus goes up.

Filter it, search it, cite it. Links go to the original source; our original news lives here.

Free Data Access

Tell us the geography, time window, and format you need, and we’ll pull it for you. No charge, no strings.
