A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Data Center

一位农民捐赠土地用于建设公园，市政府却将其改建为数据中心

Almost 30 years ago a farming family deeded land to the City of Taylor, Texas, on the condition the city use it for a public park. For the nominal fee of $10, the farmers granted the 87 acres to a public trust in 1999. 大约 30 年前，一个农户家庭将土地转让给了德克萨斯州的泰勒市（City of Taylor），条件是市政府必须将其用作公共公园。1999 年，这些农民以 10 美元的象征性费用将这 87 英亩土地授予了一个公共信托机构。

Taylor sold it to Blueprint, a data center developer, for $10 million in 2025. Now the land that was supposed to belong to the community will become a 135,000 square foot data center. 2025 年，泰勒市以 1000 万美元的价格将其出售给了数据中心开发商 Blueprint。如今，这片本应属于社区的土地将变成一个占地 13.5 万平方英尺的数据中心。

Pamela Griffin and her family have owned homes near that land for generations. Griffin and her brothers and sisters played baseball on it, camped out on it, and then watched as their children and their children’s children did the same. 帕梅拉·格里芬（Pamela Griffin）和她的家人世世代代都住在该地块附近。格里芬和她的兄弟姐妹们曾在那片土地上打棒球、露营，后来又看着他们的孩子和孙辈们在那里度过同样的时光。

Now a data center will be there, just 500 feet from Griffin’s home, nestled between a power substation and the nearby railroad tracks. 现在，一个数据中心将坐落于此，距离格里芬的家仅 500 英尺，夹在变电站和附近的铁轨之间。
