Williamson County Commissioners Court granted Compal USA Technology a Chapter 312 abatement for a Georgetown server service center
The Williamson County Commissioners Court approved a Chapter 312 tax abatement incentive agreement for Compal USA Technology Inc. on April 15th, 2026. The county described the project as a server service center on approximately 33 acres at 1800 Aviation Drive in Georgetown. It is to support enterprise and cloud infrastructure needs, general warehousing and other work in the electronics, technology and medical device industries. Chapter 312 agreements are performance based, so the county does not grant the abatement until the company meets the required measures. The agreement sets a minimum capital investment of $35 million and requires no fewer than 100 full-time employees within three years. If the terms are met the county abates 30% of assessed value for 10 consecutive years, an estimated $526,010 over that period. The City of Georgetown approved its own incentives for Compal on December 9th, 2025.
How to take part
The agreement is approved and no comment period remains open. Williamson County publishes the action, the commissioners' statements and county contacts on its public affairs news page at wilcotx.gov. Performance under a Chapter 312 agreement is verified by the county before any abatement is granted.
