Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 25, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Misty Hollow Energy and Data Campus in Prospect, Butler County, Pennsylvania 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

Developer states the data center is designed with a closed-loop cooling system intended to significantly limit water demand; a 16-inch private waterline would connect to an existing line near Prospect Road and Harmony Street Extension.

Notes on the record

Two lots totalling about 274 acres (232.4 + 41.9) at 614 Prospect Road and an adjacent parcel, with a 416,000 sq ft future expansion area. Developer targets final approvals in early 2027 and completion as early as mid-2029. Capacity (MW), investment, jobs and tenant were not disclosed. Coordinates are the geocoded street address, not a parcel-confirmed footprint.

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
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • 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.
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.
