The agreement sets the framework for Rowan Ranger to pursue one or more data centers, but it does not by itself approve construction. About 140.06 acres are inside Temple and 162.56 acres are in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction. The council also approved routine infrastructure and water-related items, including $147,372.27 for 2026 water availability and a $3.23 million Georgetown Railroad Hike and Bike Trail construction contract.
