Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of August 16, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Digital Realty ACC3 in Ashburn, Loudoun County, Virginia 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
44520 Hastings, Ashburn VA, part of the legacy DuPont Fabros Ashburn campus acquired by DLR in Sept 2017. 36.4MW critical power capacity. Capacity removed 2026-08-08: the 36.4 MW figure rested solely on a Baxtel listing (an aggregator this project does not treat as a citation). Digital Realty has no ACC3 page, archive.org holds no snapshot of that URL at all, and no other citable source was found.

- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
- 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.
- 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.
