Notes on the record
Rezoning of more than 700 acres of residential land in Shady Spring, sought by property owner Greenbrier Land Company so an unnamed company (under NDA) could build a multi-building data center campus. The commission tabled the request on 2024-01-09 and trade press reports it was later suspended indefinitely; that later report could not be fetched this session (HTTP 403) and is not cited. The 727-acre / eight-building / ~600-job figures circulating in secondary coverage are NOT asserted here, the source I read states only 'more than 700 acres'.
