Diode Ventures Cedar Creek Lake Site
AI data center in Henderson County, TX, United States: cancelled.
- Location: Henderson County, TX, United States
- Developer: Diode Ventures
- Status: cancelled
Status: Cancelled
Diode Ventures, a Kansas-based developer, evaluated a data center site in Henderson County near Cedar Creek Lake and told county officials on July 22, 2026 that it would not pursue land development there, citing the site's closeness to the rural residential community around the lake (Diode Ventures letter, published by the Office of the Texas Governor). Governor Greg Abbott said the next day that the project did not meet the standard he set in June 2026 and that Diode did the right thing by withdrawing it. The Texas Tribune reported that the site was expected to take 12 years to build out and to use 5 million gallons of lake water a day by its fifth year, citing the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. No capacity or cost was published. A county commissioner said the landowners are still looking for other ways to sell or use the land.
