Airport Drive Data Center Rezoning

cancelled

The Wichita Falls city council unanimously voted against rezoning an area on Airport Drive that was proposed for a possible data center. The proposal included potential ordinances focused on light and sound pollution, as well as traffic mitigation efforts, but concerns about noise, lights, multi-year construction, traffic, and proximity to residential neighborhoods led to the rejection. Uncertainty around the project's developer also contributed to the decision. The project is stalled indefinitely, though similar data center developments remain under consideration in the region.
