Land gifted for $10 as a park sold for $10 million after three decades
A Texas city sold 87 acres donated in 1999 for a $10 public park to a data center developer for $10 million. Residents, led by Pamela Griffin, are suing to honour the original deed, while Taylor officials say existing zoning permits the data center without resident approval. The project promises $30 million in tax revenue but raises concerns over noise, water use and property values.
