Meta Stanton Springs Data Center (Newton County)
Meta (filed as Morning Hornet LLC). Under construction.
Meta, operating through the entity Morning Hornet LLC, is expanding its Stanton Springs data center campus onto the Newton County portion of the industrial park under a development agreement approved by the Newton County Board of Commissioners. Four families near the campus, including Beverly and Jeff Morris of Mansfield, sued Meta on September 1, 2026, alleging construction blasting and excavation contaminated their well water with silt and sediment and caused dust and light pollution; Meta says a well study it commissioned found it unlikely the data center affected local groundwater. Exact current square footage for this Newton County phase could not be confirmed from public reporting available for this entry.
