Where is that? I'm only aware of the Fermilab mess next to Pantex

I've been wondering if something was going on behind the scenes.

My property taxes have been stable for decades. But for 2026 they have tripled, on pasture land with ag exemption and cows grazing.

There is a new Facebook page that some community members created to keep everyone aware of what's going on with this center.

Please share this with your family

I agree, I think we are too late to the party. However, the land hasn't been purchased yet. It went under contract in October for an Option to purchase within 11 months, depending on how their background and survey work comes out. Meeting is still going on as of now. Lots of people showed up.

This is good news! You can fight it. How did anyone find out about this pre purchase? The ones in our county were sold over a year and the only people that knew were TJ entente acquisition team and the seller. Not even the county was involved until after.

Once we had heard rumors of this happening I found the option contract on Texas land records between the owner and Belltown Power.

IS there a way to free search his or get a subscription so you don't have to pay per view?

This site is free but only has a handful of counties in it. It's free to view but you would have to pay to be able to download it.

That's crazy. I found everything on the local county pages. But again, it requires someone to have loose lips and the landowners around here don't talk. I have no idea how on earth you find this info pre sale unless you are just combing properties for clues like water rights release and such. That's another thing a lot of these guys do. They sell all of the water rights to the data center too as an additional real estate. Pretty slick.

Well, glad yall caught it pre sale, maybe it can be stopped.

Thank you. It will be a battle and not sure we can stop it but we as a community will be a thorn in their side during the whole process. I'm glad the word is out and people showed up to the commissioners meeting.

Also, I had been keeping an eye on this since this lady came in out of nowhere buying this much acreage starting in 2022. One of the properties she bought had been in the same family since the late 1800's so it was big news when it sold. Shortly after she purchased it, I found where she went under contract with Belltown for a battery storage facility.

75mi SE of you

I build data centers, lots of NDAs in place and most have been planned and equipment bought out pre-covid for the ones we're doing now.

That could be lots of places, depending on ESE or SE or SSE. When you have public info, I'd like a heads up.

Worse case scenario is Caprock Canyons State Park area

But surely not
