Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 22, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Sandy Farms Data Center (Severn) in Severn, Anne Arundel County, Maryland 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 Banner describes an existing 109,455 sq ft 'Sandy Farms Data Center' south of BWI in Severn, whose expansion is exempt from Anne Arundel's moratorium. A sale record gives the address, a 2023 build year and 49.61 acres, and lists a Dec. 2025 sale from Harrison Street to GI Partners. The tenant is unnamed; the sale listing titles it 'Amazon Data Center', but that is unconfirmed. Treating the Banner's facility and GI Partners' Severn acquisition as one site relies on the sale record. The pin is the Severn CDP point (approximate).

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.

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.
