Court consolidates Greater Birmingham Humane Society's data-center lawsuit with two related cases, WBHM reports
A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge consolidated three lawsuits challenging permits for a hyperscale data center under construction in Birmingham's Oxmoor Valley. Greater Birmingham Humane Society filed one of the suits and had planned a medical facility for traumatized animals on adjacent land. The consolidated complaints allege that Birmingham illegally granted permits and seek to stop the project; those claims remain unresolved.
