How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
The cities of Buckeye and Goodyear both raised significant concerns over building heights, noise and deviation from surrounding land use, and area residents circulated a petition opposing the project. The applicant lowered proposed heights from 110 to 60 feet and increased setbacks from 100 to 500 feet.
Notes on the record
A Maricopa County island between Buckeye and Goodyear, on both sides of Yuma Road between Perryville Road and Jackrabbit Trail. Plan is 28 buildings across two campuses totalling about 5.6 million sq ft, individual buildings 149,000-260,000 sq ft, with roughly 100 acres set aside for parks and public uses and a 15+ year build-out. No MW figure disclosed. Distinct from Tract's tracked Buckeye Tech Corridor site, which is a separate ~1,700-acre holding inside the Buckeye city limits in the Cipriani area south of I-10, the two neighbouring cities' formal objections to Project Range confirm it is not the campus they already entitled.
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
- 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.
- 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.
