Local votes and rules
🤝 Agreement with the company · Richland
Richland City Council voted unanimously for an option deal with Atlas Agro on 275 city acres at 2100 Horn Rapids Road for a planned $500 million, five-building data center tied to its fertilizer plant. Atlas Agro paid a $250,000 fee it cannot get back. If it buys, the price is just under $24 million. The land is not sold yet.
🗺️ Zoning change · West Richland
West Richland City Council changed city code to allow data centers in 'urban transition' and light industrial zones. The landowner of Lewis & Clark Ranch asked for the change. Trammell Crow later bought about 1,000 acres there; no data center application had been filed as of Sept. 2026.
