Guadalupe County commissioners vote down $500M tax cut for proposed data center in New Braunfels

In a 3-2 decision on February 24, Guadalupe County Commissioners rejected a $500 million property tax abatement sought by CloudBurst Texas for a new multi-building data center campus. The proposed facility was slated for construction at 2955 Francis Harris Lane in New Braunfels. This vote represents a significant setback for the developer's financial incentives for the project. The decision was reported by Amira Van Leeuwen of Community Impact, a local news outlet serving the New Braunfels and Northeast San Antonio Metrocom areas.
