As Young County officials study the financial implications of two major proposals—a multibillion-dollar data center project and the 300-megawatt Tapaderos Solar and battery storage development near Eliasville—they are also confronting a deeper structural challenge: the county taxes only about 30 percent of its actual market value.
Young County Judge Win Graham said he toured two data centers in Garland earlier this month to better understand what a similar facility might mean for Young County. He began at an apartment complex surrounded on three sides by data centers— with another facility under construction across the street—and said he could not hear any noise from any of the buildings while on the apartment grounds. Several residents he spoke with were unaware of what the large windowless structures contained, and none reported experiencing noise or vibration.
