Hill County, Texas, has rescinded its data center moratorium after being sued by a developer for $100 million. The county commissioners voted unanimously to replace the moratorium with a checklist of requirements for developers. The lawsuit, filed by RCM Hill, LLC, argues that the county exceeded its lawful powers. The county judge stated that the moratorium helped identify less desirable projects and provided time to develop the checklist. The company has existing contracts to buy more than 800 acres of land for a data center project.
