A controversial data center project planned near Cedar Creek Lake in Henderson County, Texas, has been withdrawn by the developer. Henderson County leaders confirmed that the Kansen-based developer pulled its proposal after weeks of significant community opposition.
Nearly 4,000 residents signed a petition expressing concerns about the project's potential impact on the area near Key Ranch and Cedar Creek Lake. County officials stated that the company ultimately agreed the rural lakeside location was not suitable for a development of that size. The decision aligns with comments from Governor Greg Abbott, who has advocated for blocking new data center developments in rural parts of Texas.
