Opposition and litigation at this site

Not that we can document. Local officials or residents have expressed public support for Buckeye Tech Corridor in Buckeye, Maricopa County, Arizona, and no opposition, petition, or lawsuit appears in the sources this registry tracks as of August 31, 2026. Buckeye City Council approved a development agreement granting Tract up to $50M in public infrastructure reimbursements; the mayor voiced strong support and no organized opposition is documented across multiple independent press accounts.

Power and water

Buckeye Tech Corridor is planned around a standard APS grid interconnect; APS is working to expand area power infrastructure to serve up to 1.8GW of demand.

Notes on the record

Master-planned data center park on a ~2,069-acre former residential (Cipriani) parcel Tract acquired for ~$136M, south of I-10 in Buckeye; planned for up to ~20M sq ft across as many as 40 data centers at full build-out over ~15 years (~$20B). Coordinates are an approximate town-level geocode (Buckeye, south of I-10), not a parcel-confirmed point. The City of Buckeye executed a development agreement with AZLCO Buckeye, LLC (Ordinance No. 08-24, adopted unanimously 2024-08-06). It reimburses the developer for six enumerated regional infrastructure components it builds and dedicates to the city, two public-safety sites, temporary and permanent public-safety facilities, $15M toward the Johnson Road interchange, and oversized regional water infrastructure, funded by 20% of the tax revenue the project itself generates, beginning only after the city has received $60M cumulatively and terminating 20 years from the effective date. It is capped at "the lesser of" the developer's verified costs or $50,000,000, so it cannot exceed what the developer actually spent; it is cost recovery for public infrastructure rather than an incentive, abatement or credit, and is therefore not recorded as a subsidy. Nothing has been paid to date. Buckeye's economic-development director has projected "more than 360 jobs at full build out", an end-state across as many as 40 separate future data centers, none yet leased, permitted or built, and so not recorded as a permanent-jobs figure for this site. A search of 226 Buckeye Council and P&Z agendas (Feb 2024, Aug 2026) found no GPLET and no Foreign Trade Zone instrument.

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.
