Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 9, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over AWS Wilmington Data Center Campus in Wilmington, Clinton County, Ohio appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

Project materials describe a direct evaporative cooling system using outside air roughly 97% of the year, with an estimated 6 million gallons of water per year.

Notes on the record

Nine data center buildings totaling about 1.92 million sq ft on a 471-acre parcel on the south side of Wilmington. AWS is funding $25+ million in shared public infrastructure (sewer trunk lines, water main, a 1 million-gallon water tower, and road work on U.S. 68 and SR 730). A separate, later rezoning added roughly 500 more acres in the city for a second, different developer's project.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • How the community has received it
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
