Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 13, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Quantum Frederick in Frederick, Frederick County, Maryland 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

This record is the master-planned 2,100-acre park itself (the former Alcoa Eastalco Works site), NOT a duplicate of any single tenant building. The individual tenant campuses already tracked separately in this dataset -- Aligned Data Centers IAD-04/IAD-06 (aligned-quantum-frederick-md, aligned-iad-06-frederick-md) and Rowan Digital Infrastructure Bauxite I/II/III (rowan-digital-frederick-md, rowan-bauxite-ii-frederick-md, rowan-bauxite-iii-frederick-md) -- sit on parcels within this same park and should NOT be re-summed against this record's acreage. Original developer Quantum Loophole, Inc. was removed from active management/development of the project in a Dec. 2025 dispute settlement with its financial partner TPG Real Estate; TPG now serves as Manager and its affiliate Catellus Development Corporation as Developer, per Catellus's own statement ('TPG Real Estate and Quantum Loophole, Inc. have resolved their dispute over management and development of the 2,100-acre data center campus... Quantum Loophole will no longer have any active involvement in managing or developing the Project.'). The Frederick County Council separately created a Critical Digital Infrastructure Overlay Zone in January 2026 that expanded the area eligible for data-center development around this site by nearly 1,000 acres, but that is a zoning designation, not confirmed additional owned/developed acreage, so it is not included in landAcres here. CORRECTION: this record's `notes` field states the Quantum Loophole / TPG dispute was resolved in a 'Dec. 2025 dispute settlement.' Primary sources -- Catellus's own statement and Quantum Loophole's own statement, both published/dated 2024-12-23 -- show the settlement and mutual litigation dismissal occurred in DECEMBER 2024, not December 2025. The operator field and the substance of what happened (Quantum Loophole removed from active management/development, TPG + Catellus took over) are already correct and need no change -- only the year cited in the notes prose is wrong. Re-checked 2026-09-13 for any further operator/ownership change since: found none; TPG Real Estate / Catellus Development Corporation remain the manager/developer of record, no new litigation found.

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
  • 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.
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.
