Texas rejects settlement that could cut proposed data center from 2,523 to 1,375 acres

Hood County commissioners voted against a settlement that would have reduced the size of a proposed data center. The developer, Sailfish Investors, aimed to address public concerns about environmental impacts and project details. Communities expressed worries over water supply, wildlife, and local infrastructure during public hearings. Following the rejections, a court battle appears likely, as the developer is disappointed with the decision.
