Lubbock’s residents are in uproar over two land parcels rezoned by the city’s economic development group, sparking fears of massive data centers and a grassroots push for a 18-month moratorium. With nearly 2,500 signatures, the petition is set to be submitted — and if rejected, could head to a November ballot. City leaders, including the mayor, say they’re already aligned with residents’ wishes, while LEDA and their planning firm insist the zoning is for utility access and manufacturing, not data centers — though a recent report hints at a data center partnership. Tensions are high as protesters flood meetings and threaten to recall officials, setting the stage for a major showdown over economic growth versus community control.
