Local votes and rules
🗳️ Election
Residents upset about the Project Patriot data center land gathered about 1,450 signatures on petitions to recall the mayor, mayor pro tem and three council members. On July 28, 2026, the city refused to certify them. After residents went to court, the city agreed in late August to present the petitions to council. A September 29 special council meeting ended in a walkout. A recall election could come as early as May 2027.
🗺️ Zoning change
Granbury City Council rezoned about 2,100 acres of newly annexed land to industrial use, which allows power plants and data centers. The land is linked to the 'Project Patriot' data center idea. Many residents opposed it.
⚖️ Court case
Four residents sued the City of Granbury over the annexation and rezoning of the Project Patriot land. They say city officials broke the Texas Open Meetings Act, including during a group tour of a Bilateral Energy data center in Dallas before the vote, and misled the public about the project's purpose. No ruling had been reported.
📌 Other
Granbury City Council annexed about 2,090 acres of the former Knox Ranch into the city. Residents later learned the land was tied to 'Project Patriot', a possible data center campus with its own power plant linked to Dallas-based Bilateral Energy.
