Granbury to consider rezoning 2,100 acres for data center power plant despite resident concerns

The city of Granbury, Texas, is scheduled to discuss the rezoning of 2,100 acres of recently annexed ranch land. The proposal is for a data center power plant to be located off Highway 377. This deliberation follows a 3-2 vote by Hood County commissioners in February to advance the plan. Local residents have voiced significant opposition to the proposed data centers. Their concerns include potential health risks, the impact of loud noises, and a projected decline in property values. One resident described experiencing "ears ringing, a headache, nauseated" and difficulty sleeping due to such developments. A public hearing on the rezoning matter is set for Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. inside Granbury City Hall, where community members will have the opportunity to express their views.
