Keller citizens and neighbors: we need your help to finish what we started…
The City of Westlake has approved a data center of more than one million square feet to be built within 500 feet of the homes in Marshall Ridge, Marshall Lakes, and Marshall Point. Not on land in the middle of Westlake -- on Westlake's far edge, on Keller's doorstep.
You've seen the headlines. Residents getting organized, showing up, and pushing back. A court granted a Temporary Restraining Order that has stopped the project in its tracks – at least for now.
A TRO is a beginning, not an ending. The next phase means hearings, filings, expert witnesses, and a legal team that can go toe-to-toe with a municipality and a developer who have far deeper pockets than a group of passionate families in one or two HOAs. That is why we are launching the Stop The Data Center Legal Defense Fund, with a goal of raising $100,000.
This is bigger than three neighborhoods. A facility of this scale means 24/7 industrial noise, heavy power and water demand, impact on our schools, constant truck traffic, and a permanent change to the character of north Keller. If Westlake can do this here, the precedent affects every Keller neighborhood that shares a border with another city. Home values, quality of life, and the ability of Keller residents to have any say in what gets built next to them are all on the line.
Every dollar will be accounted for:
# 100% of funds raised go directly into a dedicated account for the law firm representing the residents.
# Funds will be used exclusively for legal, court, and administrative costs tied to stopping the Westlake data center.
# When this fight is over, any remaining funds will be donated in equal portions to the Keller Police Association and the Keller Firefighters Association.
Please note: Contributions to the Stop The Data Center Legal Defense Fund are not tax-deductible as charitable donations.
How can you help?
1. Give. Any amount helps — $25, $100, $1,000
2. Share. Forward this to your HOA, your church, your neighborhood Facebook group...
3. Show up. Watch for hearing dates and council meetings — a full room matters.
Keller has always been a city that looks out for its own. Let's prove it again!
