Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 21, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Simple Helix Data Center in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama 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

Operator's 2017 opening release describes 'custom-engineered closed-loop chiller systems.'

Notes on the record

Privately held Huntsville colocation operator (founded 2008); this Tier III facility opened July 14, 2017 with 1.1MW of power capacity across two independent, redundant data halls, sited outside the 100-year flood zone, serving enterprise, government and DoD-contractor tenants (colocation, web hosting, DR, managed cloud/IT). A third-party listing found this session (not independently verified/fetched) cites a higher current capacity, plausibly reflecting expansion since 2017 -- only the operator's own opening-day figure is recorded here, so capacityMw is omitted rather than guessed.

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.

Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

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.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
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.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

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.
