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.

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. Coordinates come from the named OSM feature for the facility itself. Re-checked 2026-09-10 (DC BLOX's own Myrtle Beach facility page, source dated after this record's 2026-08-26 lastUpdated): status unchanged, still operational (with a second facility on the same campus 'in development' per the expansion announcement), no flip. energy: confirmed absence, no utility name or grid/on-site-generation disclosure found in any source checked. investmentUsd: confirmed absence, neither the 2023 opening announcement nor the Oct 2025 expansion announcement discloses a dollar figure for Myrtle Beach specifically (DC BLOX's disclosed green-loan financing figures apply company-wide/to other campuses, not this site). aiClassification: left unset, CEO 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; not enough to classify. jobs: confirmed absence, no jobs figure in any source checked. subsidies: confirmed absence in every press source checked (DC BLOX's own site, the 2023 opening announcement, the Oct 2025 expansion announcement), no FILOT or incentive agreement mentioned. This is a press-coverage-level absence only; Horry County's council-minutes/ordinance portal and the ITAP authority's own site were not reachable this session (DNS failures on guessed domains), so a stronger county-tier confirmation is unresolved, not ruled out. community: confirmed absence of independent local-reception reporting, 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 to set community.status.
