Notes on the record
A proposed LN Energy bitcoin-mining facility at 1199 Cason Road in the Rehobeth Church Community near Blackshear (Pierce County) whose conditional-use permit was unanimously denied by the Pierce County Commission in February 2025 after organized community opposition (150+ residents). No capacity was disclosed, so capacityMw is omitted (per the convention for cancelled sites). Recorded as a defeated project for the opposition lens. Coordinates are Blackshear city-center (approximate); the Cason Road site lies in a rural community outside the city. Single-source at intake (TheEnergyMag / TheMinerMag); a DatacenterDynamics report on the same denial exists but was inaccessible when this record was created. LN Energy is an affiliate of LN Compute Inc.; distinct from LN Compute's operational Cuthbert site (id=ln-compute-cuthbert-ga) and its former Soperton site (sold to Cango).
