Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 15, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Ritter Communications Data Technology Center in Jonesboro, Craighead 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

Ritter describes 'modular-inline cooling and clean-agent fire-extinguishing systems.' Modular in-row cooling is a recirculating-circuit design rather than an evaporative one; recorded as closed_loop on that basis, but Ritter does not state a heat-rejection method explicitly, so this value is an inference from the stated equipment type and should be re-checked against a design document before being relied on.

Notes on the record

Neither Ritter release gives the Data Technology Center's street address; both say only 'Jonesboro.' The pin is an OpenStreetMap geocode of Ritter's published Jonesboro address, 2400 Ritter Drive (OSM now labels that point 'RightFiber', Ritter's rebranded business), used as a company-campus-level approximation. The DTC has NOT been confirmed to sit at that address, so no street or postalCode is recorded. The two Ritter releases give different square footage (8,882 SF at groundbreaking, 8,544 SF at opening) and different rack counts (60 vs 82 full racks) - both are recorded verbatim in statusHistory rather than reconciled. Small (0.75 MW) carrier/colocation facility, comparable in scale to the already-tracked TierPoint Little Rock record.

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.
