The Planning and Zoning Board of Prosper, Texas, has unanimously voted 7-0 against recommending zoning for a controversial data center proposal. This decision came after a meeting where developers presented their plans for the 37-acre site, located near FM 1385 and Parvin Road, followed by hours of public commentary from concerned residents.
