Zydeco Development, the developer of Austin's MetCenter business park, applied to rezone a 41-acre parcel at 450 Ed Schmidt Blvd. in Hutto from multifamily residential to heavy industrial for a 225,000 sq ft, 70 MW data center surrounded by single-family homes. After a crowded Planning and Zoning hearing on April 7, 2026, where the city's development services director said the plan did not fit the city's vision, Zydeco withdrew the rezoning request and a related public utility district application; the city announced the withdrawal on April 17, 2026 (Taylor Press, April 22, 2026; KUT, April 20, 2026). Residents said they would watch for a refiled application. Source: Taylor Press, 2026-04-22.
