Conflicts and open questions
- WWALS is an advocacy group; its posts are used for meeting facts and document copies, and its account says only three commissioners voted on July 8, 2025. The packet was obtained by open records request and is hosted on its site.
- Acreage is about 719 in the packet and 720 in WTXL.
- The moratorium's 60 days would have run out about Oct. 24, 2026; no record of an extension or ordinance was found.
- Coordinates are approximate, from the road and nearest town.

- Status note
- Land rezoned in 2025. WWALS, an advocacy group, said in June 2026 that no data center application existed, and the county paused permit applications for 60 days in August 2026; what followed was not found.
