Taylor Texas Data Center Battle Escalates | Austin News

In Taylor, Texas, a grassroots coalition has launched a fierce legal battle against two major data center projects, filing suit after city officials refused to vote on a petition with over 1,400 signatures. Residents rallied at council meetings demanding a halt, but were told state law prohibits zoning changes via public petitions. The coalition accuses the council of violating open meetings and charter rules by putting the issue on the agenda without a public vote. While the city cites legal limits on public input, it’s proposing new regulations on water, air, and noise — and the legal showdown is far from over as the council prepares to meet again.
