The Cleveland Economic Development Corporation is scheduled to consider amending its adopted Target Industries Analysis to remove “Data Centers” from the list of target industries, according to the official agenda published for the board’s Aug. 4, 2026 meeting in Cleveland, Texas.
The agenda item, listed as item 5 under Development Corporation business, would formally strike data centers from the industries the city prioritizes for economic development purposes. The agenda also notes a closed executive session may be held if needed.
The matter is relevant to residents because the Target Industries Analysis guides which sectors the city’s economic development corporation actively courts for investment and recruitment. Removing data centers from that list would change the board’s stated development priorities, according to the published agenda.
