Current Status of Site
After the project was canceled, the main site was deeded to Ellis County, Texas, and the county tried numerous times to sell the property. The property was finally sold in August 2006 to an investment group led by the late J.B. Hunt. Collider Data Center has contracted with GVA Cawley to market the site as a tier III or tier IV data center.
Chemical company Magnablend bought the property and facilities in 2012, against some opposition from the local community.
