Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Greenidge Spartanburg (South Carolina) in Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South 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

Grid-drawn (Duke Energy service territory); no on-site generation, unlike the Dresden, NY plant.

Notes on the record

Former LSC Communications/RR Donnelley printing plant (175 acres, bought Dec 2021 for $15M); unveiled Jan 2022 as a planned $264M, up-to-100MW buildout. Greenidge built 44 MW of Bitcoin mining, transferred to NYDIG in 2023 as a debt-settlement; per Greenidge's SEC filings the NYDIG hosting arrangement now covers 'substantially all' of Greenidge's mining capacity at the New York facility, not South Carolina. The remaining 152 acres + 60 MW power rights went through a failed Nov 2024 sale to Data Journey LLC (terminated Aug 2025) before Greenidge sold the land outright to a Lightstone Group / Lighthouse Datacenters affiliate on Dec 11, 2025. Status cancelled: Greenidge holds no confirmed ongoing operating interest as of its most recent 10-Q. Re-checked 2026-09-10: 'cancelled' status for Greenidge's own project remains accurate and is further confirmed -- Greenidge closed the sale of the 152-acre Spartanburg property (for $18.0M cash plus up to $18.0M in earnouts) to an affiliate of The Lightstone Group and LightHouse Data Centers in December 2025. CORRECTION-adjacent flag: the site itself is not dead land -- the buyer (Lightstone/LightHouse) may pursue a new, differently-owned data center project there. That would be a NEW facility for the discovery lane to evaluate, out of scope for this refresh record.
