Texas City Sells $10 Park Land for $10M to Data Center Developer, Sparking Lawsuit
The city of Taylor, Texas, has sold 87 acres of land to a data center developer for $10 million — land that was originally donated in 1999 for just $10 to be used as a public park. Local residents, led by Pamela Griffin, have filed a lawsuit demanding the city honour the terms of the original deed. City officials argue that existing zoning laws allow the data center project to proceed without requiring resident approval. The development is projected to generate $30 million in tax revenue for the city. However, residents have raised concerns about potential noise, high water consumption, and negative impacts on local property values.
