A Texas family is reportedly fighting to reclaim 87 acres of land that was originally donated for use as a public park but has since been sold to a data center developer for $10 million. Pamela Griffin, who grew up near the property in Taylor, Texas, and four of her relatives have filed a lawsuit over the sale, according to court records reviewed by 404 Media.
The land’s history goes back to 1999, when the Bland family deeded 87.97 acres to the Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation for $10, with the condition that it be used as parkland, according to a copy of the deed. The deed named Williamson County, Texas, as the intended beneficiary of the trust, documents show. Over the following years, the land reportedly changed hands several times, eventually passing to the City of Taylor in 2003, then to the Taylor Economic Development Corporation in 2008 for $15,000, and finally to Blueprint, a data center developer, in 2025 for $10 million.
