A coalition of residents and property owners filed a lawsuit in an attempt to block Guadalupe County from allowing two large data centers developments.

The suit against Guadalupe County and its commissioners court says the county advanced the Cloudburst and Palomino Alpha data projects and granted them tax abatements through “inadequate public notice, private negotiations and unlawful conflicts of interest,” according to the lawsuit and a written statement attorney Bobby Levinski released Monday.

Levinski filed the suit on behalf of the Data Center Action Coalition and residents Kara Finlayson, Barry Lindsey and Torrie Martin, all of whom are listed as plaintiffs. The group is not seeking money but filed the suit as an attempt to save all taxpayers money, Levinski said.
