Proposed
Plano Skies data center campus (Savion, off Rock Creek Road)
Savion, which plans a big solar farm north of Plano, now also wants a data center campus there with six or seven buildings. City leaders said they had too little information. No formal application has been filed.
Where things stand: Shown to City Council for information only; no formal application yet. It would go to the Plano Plan Commission.
🕒 Latest update (2026): Savion showed City Council a plan adding data center buildings to its solar project; aldermen complained they got no details beforehand.
