Data centersCity of Killeen Planning and Zoning CommissionBellPublic meeting

The Killeen Planning and Zoning Commission voted in late April 2026 against a conditional use permit for a $30 million data center proposed by the company ONMINE. City staff had recommended approval. The site is about two and a half acres on South Fort Hood Street on the outskirts of the city. The commission's vote is a recommendation, and the final decision on the zoning rests with the Killeen City Council. Two outlets report the tally differently, one as 4 to 1 to deny and one as 4 to 0 against with a single abstention.

How to take part

The commission's action is a recommendation only. The zoning decision goes to the Killeen City Council in open session, where a member of the public can speak at the public hearing on the rezoning request.
