No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Vantage Data Centers CO21 Campus (Building 3) in Aurora, Adams County, Colorado appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record
Vantage owns a 143-acre site near 48th Avenue & E-470 in Aurora (Adams County) for a planned five-building CO21 campus. Per two independent data-center industry trade directories (Baxtel, DataCenterHawk) as of 2026-09-13, this building 'has not yet been commissioned or leased,' target completion year 2028, no power currently under construction. NOT listed on Vantage's own public data-center-locations page as checked directly on 2026-09-13 (vantage-dc.com/data-center-locations/), treat as an early-stage land hold rather than a confirmed active build. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the '48th Avenue and E-470' road intersection (Nominatim), not a parcel address.
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
- How the community has received it
- 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.
- 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.
