Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 4, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over CyrusOne OCB1 Council Bluffs Data Center in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa 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

Purpose-built colocation facility with 420,000 sq ft of technical space including 120,000 sq ft of raised floor, cooled by an air-cooled chiller plant (four 500-ton chillers with CRAH units per data hall) with free cooling below 30°F. Certified to ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FISMA-High, SSAE 18 Type 2, SOC 2, HITRUST, FFIEC and CSA STAR, and designed to TIA 942 Class 4. Published power figures conflict, the operator's page cites 9 MW of total IT capacity while a directory lists 18 MW of utility capacity with 6 MW of UPS, so no capacity value is recorded.

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.
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.

Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
