WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A group out of Dallas-Fort Worth is eyeing to build a campus of data centers near Airport Road and Central Freeway.
The proposed development runs along 2100 and 2226 Airport Drive, adjacent to Spur 325.
During the Wednesday, January 14, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Development Services Director Fabian Medellin told commissioners that the developer is looking to build nine buildings.
Each building will be two stories and each building will be about 150,000 square feet. Totaling about 1,350,000 square feet.
Medellin noted concerns about water usage but says the data center will be on a closed-loop system, using approximately 500,000 gallons of water.
“These sites are selected based on their proximity to transmission lines or substation and opportunities for the owner and for a developer’s team to come in and propose this specific use,” Medellin said.
Planning and zoning passed the proposed land changes for the developers. The recommendation now goes to the city council for further consideration.
The site is undeveloped at this moment, so no plans have been disclosed on when construction could begin.
