Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of July 26, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Lambda Kansas City AI Supercomputer in Kansas City, Platte County, Missouri 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
11155 N. Airworld Dr (former Bank of America campus, ~16.9 acres), Platte County near KCI airport. Launches early 2026 with 24 MW confirmed; >100 MW is a scale-up ceiling (planned figure). Distinct parcels from Google (Project Mica) and Meta's Kansas City sites. Eligible for the Missouri Data Center Sales Tax Exemption (eligibility only, no award amount confirmed; honest-zero). The >$500M figure is a press estimate (notes). Dedicated to a single unnamed AI customer under a multi-year agreement.
