Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of October 4, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over ValorC3 Boise 2 in Boise, Ada County, Idaho 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.

A new status, a permit, a reception finding, or a lawsuit. Nothing else, ever.

Power and water

Designed with air and liquid cooling in a closed-loop cooling system to reduce water waste (Idaho Business Review; CommercialSearch).

Notes on the record

A 38,000 sq ft building at 9601 W. Emerald St., next to Boise City Hall West. The City of Boise approved it, and it is valued at more than $20 million (BoiseDev, March 2026). the investment figure is omitted because that figure is a permit valuation, not total capital cost. The first phase provides 10 MW of 'AI-ready colocation and connectivity'. A preliminary application seeks a further ~31,000 sq ft expansion, likely to start before phase one is finished. The pin was geocoded from the street address with the US Census geocoder, which interpolates along address ranges. the AI use classification omitted: 'AI-ready' is marketing, not a stated AI workload.

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.
