Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 18, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Cologix Minneapolis (511 Building, MIN1-MIN5) in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

Cologix publishes "Air-Cooled Chiller with Fan Wall" for MIN5, a recirculating chilled-water circuit rejecting heat to air, recorded as closed_loop per the water-circuit tie-breaker. Cologix does not publish a plant description for MIN1-MIN4, so this is MIN5's stated design applied to the campus record.

Notes on the record

Cologix operates "more than 45K SQFT of data center colocation and interconnection space" across MIN1-MIN5 in the 511 Building, Minnesota's principal carrier hotel and home of the Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange (MICE). MIN5 alone is a "10K SQFT data center" with "1.5 MW of power capacity" and "300+ unique networks"; a campus-wide MW figure is not published, so capacityMw is left unset. The same building also houses DataBank's MSP4 suite (tracked separately), different operators, not a duplicate.

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
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • 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.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
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.
