Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 18, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Paradox Data Union County Campus in El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas 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.

Power and water

Existing interruptible Entergy service arrangement for up to 8.0 MW. The development target is up to 150 MW from utility power plus on-site generation.

About 8 MW is already energized. Entergy told the Democrat-Gazette Paradox is not a data center. Closing of the Z Squared deal was not confirmed. Coordinates were geocoded from the street address.
