San Marcos 200-Acre Data Center Proposal
Operator not disclosed. Denied.
After hundreds of residents packed San Marcos City Hall, the City Council voted 5 to 2 at 3 a.m. to deny a proposed 1.5 billion dollar, 200 acre data center rezoning. The rejection preceded a June 2026 council vote that made San Marcos the first Texas city to fully ban data centers within its limits.
