How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: in litigation means the facility is or has been the subject of a lawsuit related to its siting, permitting, or operation.
The Planning Commission recommended denial 5-4, and neighbors sued over the April 2022 4-3 rezoning (alleged spot zoning and substation approval). The outcome of the suit was not found.
Notes on the record
Two single-story buildings of about 427,000 to 430,000 sq ft plus a substation. The Baxtel facility page labels Building A operational (built 2025) but also describes it as being constructed. Because of that inconsistency, status is held at the sourced rezoning (permitted). The coordinates are the OSM geocode of the listed address.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
