⚖️ Court case
The mayor of Mooringsport and two Shreveport residents asked a judge to review the council's approval. They said the city broke the law and kept information from the public, and feared harm to Caddo Lake. On April 20, 2026 the judge dismissed the case. Lawyers said an appeal was likely; none was confirmed.
✅ Approved
City council voted unanimously to overturn the planning commission's denial, giving the Greenwood Road data center its special use permit. A court upheld this vote in April 2026.
✋ Turned down
The planning commission split 4-4 on a special use permit for a data center on Greenwood Road in west Shreveport, so the permit was denied. The city council later overturned this.
