Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Developers presented plans for at least two data center buildings on 124 acres of the site at an August 2026 town hall; the Westover City Council then unanimously approved a six-month moratorium on data centers covering this proposal and any others.
Underlying source
Source notes
City records show discussions began in May 2024; the City Council rezoned the roughly 437-acre tract from Highway Commercial/Employment Center-Office/Rural Residential to Employment Center-Industrial on February 4, 2025, the Planning Commission added "Data Center" as a permitted use in that district on April 28, 2025, and Swift Willow Property, LLC took title from Westervelt Realty in June 2025 for $6,565,238.57. Principals named in records include Gregory DeBacker and Hugh Williamson, with Swift Data Development (petitioner Jeremy Wolf) as a related entity. Developers described the site as more than 450 acres along Highway 280 and projected 500 to 1,000 construction jobs and up to 200 permanent jobs; those are ranges, not point estimates, so no jobs figures are recorded here. No MW or investment figure has been disclosed. Coordinate is a Cheshire Drive road anchor in Westover, not a surveyed parcel centroid.
