Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Tract Virginia Highlands Technology Park in Lockwood, Storey County, Nevada 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

Land is positioned between the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and the Virginia City Highlands, just southeast of Lockwood, with parcels ranging from 250 to 1,200 acres and existing industrial zoning. This is a land-and-power park with no named tenant or building programme disclosed; the 2,500 MW is Tract's stated site capacity, not a built or contracted figure. Coordinates are the Lockwood reference point, not a parcel boundary. Distinct from Tract's Silver Springs / Sapphire site in Lyon County, which the tracker already carries. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): The 8,590-acre Storey County site (between the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and Virginia City Highlands, southeast of Lockwood) was already zoned industrial with data centers as a pre-approved use at acquisition (2024-06-18), consistent with Storey County/TRIC's long-standing industrial-friendly zoning posture. Checked: Tract's own project page and its 2024 acquisition press release -- neither mentions a public hearing, county-official statement, or any resident opposition/support specific to this parcel.

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.

  • 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
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.
