Nothing on record as of October 20, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over DC Government OCTO Data Center (Frank D. Reeves Municipal Center) in Washington, District of Columbia County, Washington, D.C. 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Notes on the record

District government enterprise data center for OCTO and DDOT, housed in the Frank D. Reeves Municipal Center at 14th and U Streets NW. Press reports from December 2022 say the city must move its 'complex mission-critical IT' and data center functions out of the Reeves Center before redevelopment, at about $47M including decommissioning. DGS's 2021 request for space (DGS-RFS-2021-11, 'OCTO and DDOT Data Center') sought a replacement with about 500 kW of critical power or 925 kVA of utility power. That figure is a procurement requirement, not this site's measured capacity, so it is not recorded as capacity. As of February 2026 the Reeves redevelopment was still being phased with parts of the building kept operating. None of the cited sources confirms the data center has moved, so status stays operational. Address is geocoded; the 2000 14th St NW street number is the geocoded Reeves Center building address.
