THE CITY TRANSFERRED 464 ACRES FOR $200. WHO PROFITS IF IT'S SOLD FOR MILLIONS?

What if the biggest winner in this entire data center project isn't the City...

Isn't the taxpayers...

And isn't even the new developer...

What if it's the company that received 464 acres from the City for $200?

Let's talk about it.

The City transferred approximately:

• 72 acres to SSDC1 for $100
• 392 acres to SSDC1 for $100

That's 464 acres total.

According to the deeds and invoice sent by the City, the stated consideration was $200 combined.

Now fast forward to today.

We have learned that CyrusOne, one of the largest data center developers in the world, may be taking over the project from MSB/SSDC1.

And that raises a very important question:

What happens if the project is sold?

At:

• $5,000 per acre = $2.32 million
• $10,000 per acre = $4.64 million
• $20,000 per acre = $9.28 million

If a project assembled with public land, public resources, public incentives, and years of taxpayer-funded effort becomes worth millions of dollars, who gets the benefit?

Because taxpayers have already paid for city staff time, legal fees, consultants, roads, water lines, sewer lines, engineering, infrastructure planning, economic development efforts and ongoing litigation.

Yet if this project changes hands for millions of dollars...

Who gets the check?

The taxpayers?

Or the private company?

And perhaps the most important question of all....

Did the City negotiate any protections to ensure that if this project was flipped, sold, assigned, or transferred for a massive profit, the citizens of Sulphur Springs would share in that success?

If CyrusOne ultimately pays millions to acquire this project, will a single dollar of that value come back to the citizens who helped make it possible?

🚨 MAJOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE DATA CENTER PROJECT 🚨

Just over a week ago, citizens learned during the June 2 City Council meeting that a new developer was taking over the project from MSB/SSDC1.

Today, Councilman Craig Johnson identified that company as CyrusOne.

And that changes the conversation.

CyrusOne isn't a startup.

It isn't a local developer.

It is one of the largest hyperscale data center companies in the world.

For those who believed this project might fade away, this announcement suggests it is a go.

The project may now be backed by a company with the experience, resources, and track record to pursue developments at an enormous scale.

But the announcement raises just as many questions as it answers.

Will the project remain at 3,000 MW?

Will on-site power generation still be part of the plan?

What happens to the agreements already signed with the City?

How does this affect the ongoing Vistra litigation?

What new studies, plans, or approvals will be required?

Whether you support this project or oppose it, one thing is clear:

The developer may have changed. The questions have not.

Yesterday I posted a map showing the distance between the proposed MSB/SSDC1 power generation site and the new elementary school.

Dozens of you reached out asking the same question:

"How close is it to my neighborhood off Mockingbird Lane?"

So here is the map.

The highlighted yellow circle includes portions of:
Vonda Drive
Junell Drive
Ryan Road
Craig Ridge Road
Myrtle Drive
Austin Acres
Kelli Circle
Wright Drive
Jason Street
Merrell Drive

Based on the City's own interactive zoning map, the proposed SSDC1 power generation site is approximately 1.1 miles from the back parts of these neighborhoods, with distances stretching to roughly 1.5 miles to Mockingbird Lane.

I am including a link to the City's interactive zoning map so you can measure distances from your own home, neighborhood, school, church, or business and verify everything for yourself.

I hope this helps answer some of the questions many of you have been asking.

How Close is All of This to Our New School?

I pulled this map straight from the City of Sulphur Springs online zoning map.

The marker at the top is the new elementary school on College Street.

The highlighted tract at the bottom is the 72 acres deeded to MSB/SSDC1 for power plant generation and major energy infrastructure associated with the 3,000-megawatt data center.

The distance between them?

Approximately 1.9 miles.

While they keep calling it a "data center", the power plant and related energy infrastructure are what isn't being talked about enough.

Most parents hear "data center" and picture a building full of computers.

But a project discussed at 3,000 megawatts and a natural gas fired power plant less than 2 miles from the new elementary school is something much larger.

We are talking about massive power infrastructure, transmission lines, substations, cooling systems, acres of backup generation, gas driven fuel cells, a massive gas-fired power plant and industrial facilities spread across thousands of acres with the power plant being the closest to the school.

And here is the question every parent should be asking...When were families given a complete picture of what could actually be built?

Before agreements were approved, were parents shown....

• Environmental studies?

• Air quality studies?

• Noise studies?

• Traffic impact studies?

• Water demand studies?

• Emergency response plans?

• Health impact evaluations?

Were nearby residents?

Was the school district?

Because if major energy infrastructure is being discussed less than two miles from a new elementary school, those seem like reasonable facts the city should be sharing.

This is not about being for or against development.

This is not about being anti-business.

This is about transparency.

Parents should not have to learn about a possible gas-fired power plant, Bloom Energy fuel cells, and major energy infrastructure by digging through lawsuits, public records requests, executive session agendas, court filings, and scattered public comments.

That information should have been presented openly and clearly before agreements were approved.

The public deserves clear answers.

The school district deserves clear answers.

Parents deserve clear answers.

Before a project of this magnitude moves forward, shouldn't every parent, homeowner, taxpayer, and school official know exactly what is being proposed?

Look at the map.

Then ask yourself:

If this project is truly beneficial for our community, why has it been so difficult for citizens to get a clear picture of what is actually being planned?
