Almost 30 years ago a farming family deeded land to the City of Taylor, Texas, on condition the city use it for a public park. Taylor sold it to a data center developer, for $10 million in 2025. Now the land that was supposed to belong to the community will become a 135,000 square foot data center.
In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas city to use as a park. The city sold to a data center developer for $10 million.
