Lubbock City Council to Decide on 936-Acre Data Center Proposal
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Lubbock City Council is set to vote on a 936-acre data center proposal, which was previously rejected by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The project, aimed at changing the zoning to General Industrial District for power generation, has faced community concerns regarding its impact on quality of life and the environment, despite city staff indicating moderate alignment with the Comprehensive Plan. A public hearing is scheduled for January 27.
