🗺️ Zoning change
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.
