Opposition and litigation at this site

Yes. Organized local opposition to Natelli New Hill Digital Campus in New Hill, Wake County, North Carolina is documented in the public record, without a lawsuit on file in the sources we track. Developer withdrew its annexation/rezoning application on March 5, 2026 after months of organized Apex-area opposition (Protect Wake County Coalition citing noise, air-quality, and water-use concerns); an Apex town council member then proposed a one-year moratorium on new data-center applications in the town.

How the community has taken it

Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: opposed means documented, organized local opposition is the dominant signal on record.

Power and water

Developer-stated demand for the proposed campus: peak up to 1,000,000 gallons per day, averaging 300,000-450,000 gallons per day. A water-use figure is deliberately not recorded because the source gives a peak and an average range rather than one figure, and recording either alone would misstate the other.

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.

Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

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.
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.
