Opposition and litigation at this site
Yes. Nebius Vineland Data Center in Vineland, Cumberland County, New Jersey is contested. Hearings, public comment, petitions, or organized opposition are on record. Voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, June 19, 2026 (filed May 26, 2026).
How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
Voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, June 19, 2026 (filed May 26, 2026). AI data center off South Lincoln Avenue, Vineland, Cumberland County, operated by Nebius Group; 2.6 million square feet at completion, 300 megawatts, three data rooms already online. City council and mayor formally support the project; PILOT Ordinance 2026-3 adopted unanimously January 27, 2026. Approximately 100 residents rallied in opposition (noise, emissions, water, property values, health concerns). Pinelands Alliance hosted community town hall. Sierra Club and Sustain South Jersey formally oppose, citing construction without final environmental permits, proximity to Pinelands, and lack of public process. NJDEP reviewing air permit and investigating facility's emissions as a single-source with adjacent parcels.
Power and water
32 high-efficiency natural gas engines generate approximately 85% of facility power; 6 diesel generators for backup. Proposed 1.5-million-gallon LNG storage tank as pipeline contingency (pending approval). NJDEP air permit under review as of early 2026; Sierra Club and Pinelands Alliance objecting to emissions profile. Facility located in Wellhead Protected Area near Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer.
Developer explicitly states facility will not consume water for equipment cooling (Philadelphia Inquirer, Jan 2026). A four-step exhaust reclamation system on the gas engines (selective catalytic reduction, oxy catalyst, wet scrubbers, biofilters) captures condensate from engine exhaust for recycling, this is emissions control on the power plant side, not IT-equipment cooling. City department figures show 1.1 million gallons/year municipal water draw (Inquirer, Jan 2026); a separate source (WHYY) cites 'up to 20 million gallons annually', discrepancy unresolved, likely reflecting different accounting (total throughput vs. net municipal draw). Reporting 'reportedMgd' field omitted due to conflicting figures.

Notes on the record
Phase-1 (~100 MW) completed summer 2025 in approximately 20 weeks from March 2025 announcement; full campus buildout targeting November 2026. Total design capacity cited as 'up to 300 MW' in Nebius press releases (sourceRef 0); DataOne CEO and local/community coverage consistently cite 350 MW; long-term campus potential described as approaching 1 GW. Coordinates are approximate (site: South Lincoln and Sheridan Avenues, East Vineland; Baxtel lists 805 Sheridan Ave). DataOne is the developer/builder, BSO's data center unit (launched 2024) backed by Ardian; CEO Charles-Antoine Beyney; this is DataOne's first US site (previously Grenoble and Lyon, France). Nebius is the ~10-year tenant; Microsoft GPU infrastructure agreement commencing late 2025 under multi-year AI infrastructure deal. Facility is 100% privately funded; DataOne declined a $6.2M city equipment loan amid community backlash. Distinct from Nebius's Independence, MO (Kansas City) site. NJDEP air permit pending as of early 2026; construction proceeded ahead of final permit issuance. DataOne stated 200+ permanent full-time jobs; construction job count not disclosed.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would

Which document closes each gap
- Permanent jobs promised
