Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over phoenixNAP PHX02 in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona 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.

Notes on the record
Second phoenixNAP data center, on a 6.54-acre parcel at 3221 E. Elwood St., across the street from the operator's 2010 facility. AZBEX reports 530,000 sq ft, roughly 15,000 racks at about 44 kW density, and initial capacity of 30 MW with potential to increase to 50 MW. Coordinates are geocoded from the cited street address (Nominatim and US Census geocoder agree to ~10 m); they are not parcel-confirmed.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would

- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- How the community has received it
- 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.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- 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.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
