Kahla Project is a proposed data-center campus from Belltown Power Texas on about 900 acres of private ranchland near Marquez in western Leon County, Texas.
Aimed at meeting rising tech and AI demands, the development faces strong pushback from local residents and Leon County officials. Key community concerns include high water use, power grid strain, rural fire safety, and the disruption of local farmland and wildlife. While county leaders are actively working to block tax breaks and government subsidies, the project remains in the planning and environmental review stages.
