Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of July 8, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over CoreWeave Digital Crossroads in Hammond, Lake County, Indiana 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.

Notes on the record

180 MW facility at the Digital Crossroads campus in Hammond, Lake County; city approved June 2025, NIPSCO lease pending, targeted 2027. Coordinates are the Hammond area centroid. UPDATE (2026-07): the City of Hammond announced the CoreWeave / Decennial development agreement EXPIRED June 30, 2026 - required milestones were not met and no extensions were offered; no groundbreaking occurred. The June 2025 city approval, the 10-year real-property and 20-year personal-property tax abatements, and the ~$2B construction / ~$5B equipment figures were all tied to this now-lapsed agreement (never triggered). Status corrected under_construction -> cancelled.

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.

  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • How the community has received 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.
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.

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.
