An estimated 50% of construction and operations hiring from within 30 miles. Trade school certification programs are planned.
An on-site fire station, with equipment funded by the project, is planned. Firefighting equipment will be provided to the local volunteer fire department. Fire hydrants will be served by the new city water line. Emergency response coordination with local fire, EMS and law enforcement is underway.
Off-site road, water and sewer extensions will be funded by the developer and will bring city water service to the project area. Construction traffic measures will include dedicated access roads, road widening, alternative routing for heavy vehicles, construction-hour and delivery restrictions, and repair of damaged roads.
Community trails and soccer and baseball fields are planned in the setback areas, accessible to the community.
Site standards require closed-loop cooling. No groundwater wells. Potable water from the City of Lacy Lakeview will be used for drinking water and fire protection. Reclaimed municipal water (treated effluent) is planned for non-potable uses.
A 300-foot setback along the road frontage and 100-foot side and rear setbacks, with landscape easements and irrigated planting. Brick walls instead of fencing at the switchyard and substations. Dark-sky compliant lighting with shielded, downward-facing fixtures, motion activation and dimming. Noise and lighting studies, including a pre-construction baseline, are in progress.

Designated a Provisional Controllable Load Resource in the ERCOT large load interconnection process. The project intends to register as a Controllable Load Resource, which reduces power use at ERCOT direction during grid emergencies.
L2D2 is a planned data center district on an approximately 526-acre site in McLennan County, Texas, north of Waco, with 925 MW of interconnection capacity requested through the ERCOT large load interconnection process and development in phases. Infrakey DC Parks LLC is the developer; Infrakey Capital, LLC, an affiliate, is the ERCOT interconnection applicant. The district is planned to provide power, water, sewer, fiber and cooling infrastructure to data center facilities within the site. No gas-fired power plant is part of L2D2 or will interconnect with it.
On December 9, 2025, the Lacy Lakeview City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Infrakey DC Parks LLC for the Lacy Lakeview Data District (L2D2).
Construction targeted to begin in late 2026. First energization targeted for 2027. Construction completion targeted for 2029. Dates are subject to regulatory approvals.
