Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 30, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Encore Technologies NOR1 (Norwood) in Norwood, Hamilton County, Ohio 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

Encore Technologies data center at 4620 Wesley Avenue, the address on Encore's policy letterhead. Encore prints it as 'Cincinnati Ohio 45212', but the street is in the City of Norwood, Hamilton County, per OpenStreetMap and PeeringDB. Encore's own Data Center Physical Access Policy (v2026.1) lists the address among 'the following Encore Data Centers', misspelled there as 'Welsey Avenue'. The 'NOR1' site code comes from PeeringDB, not Encore. Capacity is not recorded: Encore's Cloud & Infrastructure page gives 'Redundant cooling with 1 MW of IT capacity' without naming a site. The coordinates are approximate because the Census geocoder did not match the address, so the point is OpenStreetMap's Wesley Avenue (Norwood) street point. PeeringDB lists 39.160536, -84.44869, about 150 m east. No opening date was found as of October 2026.

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.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
