Community pushback slows Fort Worth data center tax abatement
Community organizers packed Fort Worth City Hall today to oppose a proposed tax abatement for a data center planned in southwest Fort Worth — a project roughly the size of 140 football fields. Neighbors who expected the deal to sail through instead scored a temporary win when city leaders delayed action. Many called it a rare moment where “the little guy” was heard as residents pushed back against the rapid arrival of large‑scale data centers in the region.
