Amazon data center court fight continues
A Clinton County judge is considering a legal challenge to Wilmington officials' approval process for Amazon's proposed $4 billion data center.

A Clinton County judge heard arguments from Wilmington homeowners and city attorneys over a legal challenge involving Amazon's proposed $4 billion data center. The homeowners contend that city officials improperly used emergency ordinances to avoid a public vote on rezoning farmland for the project.
After hearing both sides, the judge took the case under advisement and is expected to issue a decision later. The ruling could determine whether the city's actions in advancing the data center zoning remain valid.
