Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 28, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over DC BLOX Myrtle Beach Cable Landing Station in Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina 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

125,000 sq ft and 19 MW at full build-out, in the International Technology & Aerospace Park. Landing point for the Google Firmina and Nuvem cables and Meta's Anjana cable. DC BLOX announced an expansion on 2025-10-14 to add capacity for five more subsea cables. The recorded land area of 21 acres is a floor: the Office of the Governor of South Carolina's 2022 announcement describes the site as more than 21 acres, and the expansion announcement says DC BLOX acquired approximately 20 additional adjacent acres, which are not included. Coordinates come from the named OSM feature for the facility itself. As of 2026-09-10, per DC BLOX's own Myrtle Beach facility page (dated after this record's 2026-08-26 last update), the status is unchanged: still operational, with a second facility on the same campus 'in development' per the expansion announcement. No utility name or grid/on-site-generation disclosure appears in any source checked. Neither the 2023 opening announcement nor the Oct 2025 expansion announcement discloses a dollar investment figure for Myrtle Beach specifically (DC BLOX's disclosed green-loan financing figures apply company-wide/to other campuses, not this site). No AI classification is recorded: the CEO's framing ('leverage this infrastructure to create an AI-driven future') is generic aspirational language about the company's broader direction, not a statement that this cable-landing-station site itself is AI-dedicated. The Office of the Governor of South Carolina's May 10, 2022 announcement states that the company's $31.5 million investment will create three new jobs; as of October 2026, no jobs figure appears in DC BLOX's own opening announcement, expansion announcement or Myrtle Beach facility page. No FILOT or incentive agreement is mentioned in any press source checked (DC BLOX's own site, the 2023 opening announcement, the Oct 2025 expansion announcement). This is an absence in press coverage only; Horry County's council-minutes/ordinance portal and the ITAP authority's own site could not be reached as of September 2026, so a stronger county-level confirmation is unresolved, not ruled out. No independent local-reception reporting was found: a Sept 8 2026 company-wide 'Community Commitment' pledge announcement references Myrtle Beach only via a linked headline, not in its own body text, so it does not count as site-specific community evidence and was not used.
