The applicant for a proposed data center in Ardmore, JRE Strategies, has withdrawn their rezoning request, effectively halting the project. The city commission was scheduled to vote on the proposal on March 16.

Community Development Director Jessica Scott noted that the reason for the withdrawal is not clear. The planning commission had recommended against the project, which intended to rezone seven acres on Third Avenue to light industrial for a ten-megawatt data center. Neighbors had expressed concerns about noise and power issues, contributing to the proposal's difficulties.
