Collin County town mobilizes early to stop potential data center$

Residents in Lucas, Texas, successfully mobilized against a developer's application that included a "technology storage facility" as a potential use, fearing it would lead to a data center. During a planning and zoning meeting, the commission voted unanimously to remove this specific land use, though a decision on the overall commercial project was postponed. The community expressed concerns over energy and water consumption, noise pollution, and the impact on their rural lifestyle.
