Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 16, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Nebraska Colocation Centers, Lincoln (Sharp Building) in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska 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

Carrier-neutral colocation across floors of the 1929 Sharp Building at 206 S. 13th Street in downtown Lincoln, opened October 2013. Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap building match for that address (display name "Sharp, 206, South 13th Street, Downtown, Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska, 68508"), not a recalled geocode. Operationally interconnected with the operator's Omaha carrier hotel at 1623 Farnam, which this tracker already carries as a separate site, this is the Lincoln site, not a duplicate of it. Capacity, floor area and utility feeds are not asserted: the source describes redundant UPS, four Lincoln Electric System circuits and redundant CRAC cooling but publishes no MW or square-footage figure. Operator name is as printed in the source; the 1623 Farnam site is marketed under Nebraska Data Centers, so verify the current corporate name before publishing.

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.

Power capacity in megawatts
Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
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.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
