Taylor coalition sues city over data center
The Halt Taylor Data Center Coalition has filed a lawsuit against the Taylor City Council, alleging the council failed to act on a citizen petition. The petition aimed to block data centers from city zoning and, according to the coalition, required the council to call an election. The group is seeking a court order to force this vote.
The Halt Taylor Data Center Coalition has initiated legal action against the Taylor City Council, filing a lawsuit on Friday. The coalition claims that the city council neglected its duty to act on a certified citizen petition designed to prevent data centers from being established within city zoning. According to the coalition, the city's charter mandates that the council must call an election when presented with such a petition.
The group is requesting that a court intervene and compel the city to hold the vote. When contacted for a response to the lawsuit, a city spokesperson stated that they were unable to comment on pending litigation.
