Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 22, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over LightHouse Data Centers Spartanburg (300 Jones Road) 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.
Notes on the record
Former LSC Communications / R.R. Donnelley printing plant at 300 Jones Road, bought by Greenidge in 2021 and sold on 2025-12-11 for $18M cash plus up to $18M in earnouts ($180,000 per MW energised above the secured 60 MW before 2031). capacityMw.planned records the 60 MW of power secured for delivery by September 2026, not a built IT load. Status kept at proposed: the SEC filing establishes the land and power position but no source read this session confirms construction. Coordinate is the OSM footprint of the LSC Communications parcel (approximate). This is the same parcel as the tracked, cancelled greenidge-spartanburg-sc crypto project, a different operator, facility type and project, recorded separately rather than as a status change on that record.
