Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 15, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over DigiPower X Hildebran Data Center (Cline Park Court) in Hildebran, Burke County, North 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.

Power and water

Baxtel lists the site as adjacent to a high-voltage Duke Energy substation; The Paper describes the newer parcel as near a major Duke Energy substation.

Notes on the record

The 200 MW figure is the company's own statement as reported by WSOC; The Paper gives no site-specific MW. The parcels are 199 Cline Park Court (19.5 acres, bought 2022) and 0 U.S. 70 E. (21 acres, bought 2026), both registered to Digihost International, Inc. Town and county officials told The Paper the company had not contacted them about permits. The project began as a crypto-mining plan in 2022, and the town then adopted noise and power-use ordinances. Coordinates are an approximate town-level placement.

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
How the community has received 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.
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.
