Lubbock City Council to Decide on 936-Acre Data Center Proposal
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Lubbock City Council will decide on a proposed 936-acre data center after the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3-4 against it. The project, presented by Hugo Reed and Associates for Texas Solarworks, seeks a zone change to General Industrial District for power generation.
City staff had no objections, citing moderate conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Citizens expressed concerns over quality of life and environmental impacts. The council's public hearing is scheduled for Jan. 27.
