Local votes and rules
🗳️ Public vote
Residents turned in about 2,800 signatures each on two petitions to let voters decide the data center rezoning. The town clerk rejected them because they were missing the right ordinances and land description. Beale sued the town over the petitions. In May 2026 a judge sided with the clerk, so there will be no public vote.
🗺️ Zoning change
Town council voted unanimously to rezone two farm parcels on Luckett Road (about 600 acres) for a hyperscale data center by Beale Infrastructure. One member whose family owns a parcel did not vote. The planning commission had recommended it 6-0.
📜 Data center rules
Town council passed Ordinance 2024.029. Very large (hyperscale) data centers need a special rezoning (specific plan), must meet design and noise rules, and must show they have enough power and water.
