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.
