Taylor, TX Park Land Sold Off to Build a Data Center

I had to go to several sources, all of them small independent press, to get this whole story.  Seem a family donated land in Taylor, TX to be used as a park.  The county turned around and sold it to a data center developer for $10 million.  This land was some of the original land where minority (black) families were allowed to buy land and build houses in Taylor.  It is still a mostly low income minority neighborhood.  You will have to search around for more information on this one but the Austin Free Press covers much of it.
