Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of August 25, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over CleanSpark Austin County AI Data Center Campus in Austin County, Texas 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.
Notes on the record
First of CleanSpark's two announced Greater Houston-area sites (see also the separate Brazoria County campus). No city/address disclosed anywhere in the filing, company language is only 'positioned between Houston and Austin'; Austin County (seat Bellville) fits that framing, so coordinates are an approximate county reference point, not a parcel. Targeting energization of >200 MW in H1 2027. Explicitly framed by named CleanSpark executives (CBO, SVP of AI Data Centers) as an AI/HPC campus, not continued bitcoin mining or generic cloud, clears the schema's evidence bar for aiClassification. Combined with the separate Brazoria County campus, CleanSpark cites 'more than 890 MW of aggregate potential utility capacity' in the greater Houston area.

- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- How the community has received it
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- 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.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- 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.
