SOURCE RECORD

CloudBurst Data Centers San Marcos (Francis Harris Lane): source record

planned

Because the tract sits outside all city limits and ETJs, the county's flood-hazard permit is effectively the only local discretionary review. A related phase and an associated gas plant are proposed in Guadalupe County, outside this region's scope.
