San Marcos to reconsider stalled $1.5B data center project

The $1.5 billion data center project in San Marcos, Texas is once again moving through the approval process after facing community opposition that initially stalled the project. The San Marcos Planning and Zoning Commission will consider the project, which was previously recommended for denial but then narrowly approved by the City Council in a contentious vote. The developer Highlander SM One LLC is petitioning for approval, after the previous lead developer CyrusOne withdrew due to community pushback.
