A website<\/a> dubs the data center as \u201cProject Outpost.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cProject Outpost is a next-generation data center designed to meet growing demand for digital infrastructure while operating under strict environmental and community standards,\u201d the website reads.<\/p>\n The website describes the data center as two 450,000 square foot buildings \u201cwith administrative and data hall space, along with a dedicated Oncor substation to supply power to the facility.\u201d<\/p>\n Dallas-based Edged Data Centers \u2014 a subsidiary of sustainable infrastructure company Endeavor \u2014 registered the project<\/a> with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in May. That entry shows a 488,770 square foot data center at 9999 Chapin School Road, with a start date of July 27 and a price tag of $300 million.<\/p>\n Edged withdrew a request<\/a> for a tax break from the city of Fort Worth earlier this year. The project has raised questions among residents, who formed the 2871 Community Coalition<\/a> to call for stronger regulations on data center developments.<\/p>\n Krista Erbe, a Fort Worth resident and founding member of the coalition, said that the group toured an Edged data center in Irving with Fort Worth City Council member Michael Crain recently \u2014 but it didn\u2019t assuage all of her concerns.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t feel like it changed how I have felt about these things overall,\u201d Erbe said. \u201cI appreciate that they\u2019re willing to have a dialogue with residents.\u201d<\/p>\n Crain declined to comment for this story, but confirmed that he toured the data center with residents. Edged did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n On Aug. 11, the Fort Worth City Council initiated the process<\/a> of implementing a potential moratorium on new data center developments and set new requirements for developers looking to build in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n Those requirements mandate that data center developers looking to build in Fort Worth have to receive approval from the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas before the city approves development permits. They do not apply to projects that are already vested.<\/p>\n A city spokesperson confirmed that data center projects that have already submitted applications are not affected.<\/p>\n
