Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 9, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over DC BLOX Montgomery Data Center in Montgomery, Montgomery County, Alabama 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
Announced November 2024 as one of four DC BLOX southeastern hyperscale edge-node sites. Chamber release states verbatim: "$30 million data center investment", "5MW of capacity for a hyperscale anchor tenant, with the potential to scale up to 40MW for additional tenants", "Located in Interstate Industrial Park". Alabama Department of Commerce (Made in Alabama) repeats the 5MW-to-40MW figure. STATUS IS DELIBERATELY 'proposed': no source fetched in this run states that construction has begun, and DC BLOX's own live location map (fetched 2026-09-09) lists only Birmingham and Huntsville in Alabama with no Montgomery entry. An aggregator (servercountry.org) lists this as 40 MW under construction, NOT verified here and not cited. COORDINATES ARE A MONTGOMERY CITY-CENTROID GEOCODE, not the site: the only site detail in a fetched source is the name "Interstate Industrial Park", which does not resolve in Nominatim; a secondary search summary placed it off the I-65 Hope Hull exit (roughly 12 miles southwest of the centroid used here) but no page stating that was successfully fetched, so it is not recorded. The coordinate should be tightened before this record is trusted for mapping. No acreage, square footage, job count, timeline or incentive figures appear in any fetched source. Distinct from meta-montgomery-al (different operator and site).
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 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.
- 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.
