From two neighboring cities going to court over a data center to a Keller marching band bound for the Rose Parade, Northeast Tarrant County has been busy. Here\u2019s a quick digest of recent Star-Telegram coverage across the area.<\/p>\n
Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n
A Tarrant County judge extended a temporary restraining order blocking Westlake\u2019s vote on a 1.1 million-square-foot data center<\/a> on Wednesday, Aug. 26, giving the court more time to weigh evidence. Keller residents in the Lakes at Marshall Ridge neighborhood say they were not properly notified about a zoning change that would allow a developer to build the center 506 feet from their homes, while Westlake argues the site has been designated for industrial use since 1998. The next hearing is set for Sept. 8.The Timber Creek Falcon Band from Keller ISD is the only Texas band invited to the 138th Tournament of Roses Parade<\/a> in Pasadena on Jan. 1, 2027, and one of just 22 bands invited from around the world. The band plans to perform \u201cDeep in the Heart of Texas\u201d and \u201cUptown Funk,\u201d pending songwriting credit approvals.The City of Southlake and Carroll ISD filed a joint complaint against Tri-County Electric Cooperative<\/a> with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas on Aug. 11 over frequent power outages since April. Tri-County acknowledged issues with tree branches touching power lines and committed additional resources for tree trimming and system inspections, while local businesses reported lost revenue from outages that often last one to two hours.Modern Mexican restaurant Vidorra opens its Grapevine location<\/a> at 700 W. Texas 114 on Aug. 31. It\u2019s the first Tarrant County spot and the fifth in the DFW Metroplex for the restaurant, owned by Dallas-based Milkshake Concepts.<\/p>\n The summary points above were compiled with the help of AI tools and edited by journalists.
