The Largest Public Archive of Data-Center Buildout News · Updated Hourly
Community Opposition — The National Record Index
We have logged 25,387 headlines and public records, drawn from a monitored network of 28,230+ 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.
Need this news archive for your work?
We provide free custom extracts of everything we track — camera locations, brands, operators, dates, agencies, council agendas, and news coverage — to researchers, journalists, students, and advocates. Tell us the geography, time window, and format you need, and we’ll pull it for you. No charge, no strings.
