Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 17, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Digital Realty 'Corny' Data Center (Cornelius Pass Rd & NE Cornell Rd, Hillsboro) in Hillsboro, Washington County, Oregon 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

The News-Times reports the 'Corny Data Center' application (nearly 29 acres, filed 2026-07-21) without naming the applicant; The Hillsboro Herald identifies the corner of Cornelius Pass Road and NE Cornell Road as a recently purchased open farmed parcel held by a Digital Realty entity, with an application for two buildings 'from the same group' as the Wagon Data Center. Operator attribution therefore rests on the Herald's reporting. Coordinates are the Cornelius Pass / Cornell intersection (OSM node 38738445); the exact parcel has not been published. Power capacity not published.

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.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
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.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.
