A Public-Private Partnership for the Digital Age
Introducing L2D2: Lacy Lakeview Data District
A first-of-its-kind district model in Central Texas
L2D2 is an innovative public-private partnership between Lacy Lakeview, Infrakey and McLennan County, providing bundled utilities (power, cooling, water, fiber) directly to AI datacenter tenants. Infrakey serves as the essential execution partner, bringing private capital and expertise to deliver this integrated utility infrastructure, designed to enable rapid data center deployment.

This integrated model radically departs from conventional data center development, which often involves fragmented negotiations with various utility providers, prolonged permitting processes, and substantial upfront infrastructure costs for tenants.

L2D2's consolidated offering simplifies the entire development lifecycle, designed to enable rapid data center deployment and operational efficiency. It provides tenants with a streamlined and infrastructure-ready foundation designed to support reliable operations from day one.

Addressing Community Concerns: Myth vs. Reality
Transparent answers to the questions that matter most
L2D2 is designed to deliver economic growth without residential strain, jobs, taxes, and infrastructure investment that aim to benefit every McLennan County resident.
Community FAQ: Your Questions Answered
Will backup generators run all the time and keep me awake at night?
No. Backup generators only run during rare grid outages or brief monthly compliance tests (typically less than 1 hour per month). They are not part of normal operations.
How close will this be to my house?
The 300-acre site is located on rural agricultural land with significant setbacks from residential areas. Facilities are designed with natural buffers and screening to minimize visual and noise impact.
What happens to my water bill?
L2D2 uses reclaimed wastewater for cooling, not drinking water from residential supplies. Your water rates should not be affected, and the project may actually help fund water infrastructure improvements through tax revenue.
Can I get a job there without a computer science degree?
Yes. While some positions require technical expertise, many roles include facilities maintenance, security, logistics, construction trades, and administrative support. Local workforce training partnerships with TSTC are designed to prepare residents for these opportunities.
What if the data center companies leave after a few years?
Data centers are long-term infrastructure investments (20-30+ year lifespans). The facilities, power infrastructure, and utility improvements remain valuable assets. The partnership structure is designed to protect public interests even in downside scenarios.
Will there be more traffic on my road?
Data centers generate significantly less traffic than warehouses or manufacturing. Most traffic occurs during construction phase. Operational facilities have minimal daily traffic - primarily shift changes and occasional maintenance vehicles.
How do I stay informed or voice concerns?
Contact our Community Liaison at sujeeth.draksharam@infrakeyglobal.com. We provide quarterly public updates, and you can request to be added to our community newsletter distribution list.
What about light pollution at night?
L2D2 commits to dark-sky compliant lighting with downward-facing, shielded fixtures and motion-activated controls to minimize light spill beyond the property line.
