City Council approved a development agreement and annexation 5-0 despite months of opposition from the HALT Taylor Data Centers coalition; the developers had withdrawn their earlier annexation and zoning request in September
Notes: 500 MW at full buildout with room for another 500 MW. The agreement sets 300-foot setbacks (700 feet on the south side), a 65-decibel noise cap and closed-loop cooling with reclaimed water, plus $28.2M in community payments. Opponents note the site is in Thrall ISD while most school money goes to Taylor ISD. Construction is planned for 2027 to 2029.
