North Texas judge temporarily halts vote on Westlake data center
A North Texas judge issued a temporary restraining order, halting the Westlake Town Council's vote on a proposed data center. This legal action stems from claims by local residents that the town failed to provide proper public notice for meetings related to the project. The Town Council was scheduled to meet about a development agreement that had already been approved.
A North Texas judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the Westlake Town Council, effectively halting a scheduled vote on a proposed data center project. The judicial intervention comes amidst a meeting where the Town Council was discussing a development agreement for the data center, which had previously received town approval.
The temporary restraining order was requested by residents from a nearby Keller neighborhood and Westlake itself. These residents allege that the town failed to provide adequate public notice regarding meetings pertaining to the data center development.
