Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 15, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over DartPoints Lexington Data Center Campus in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky 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
The property includes an owned on-site substation; DartPoints cites collaboration with Kentucky Utilities and LG&E, and WEKU reports KU supports the project.
DartPoints describes 'direct-to-chip liquid cooling using closed-loop, low-water-use heat rejection' alongside support for traditional air-cooled environments.
Notes on the record
Acquired in May 2026 for $29 million; roughly 343,000 sq ft of campus including about 81,000 sq ft of existing raised-floor data center space, fully zoned for data center use, with rack densities up to 200 kW planned. DartPoints describes a path to approximately 20 to 30 MW in an initial phase with longer-term expansion potential to 70 MW, the 70 MW build-out figure is what capacityMw.planned records. As of June 2026 the company was still finalizing a ready-for-service date and no operations date had been announced, so this is recorded as proposed rather than operational; Lexington declined to provide city incentives. Coordinates are a geocode of the street address, not a parcel-confirmed footprint.
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.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
- 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.
Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

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.
