• Data center legal challenge resolved without derailing project (ktbs.com) — Mooringsport’s mayor joined a legal challenge to Shreveport’s massive new data center, but a Caddo District Court ruling has cleared the project to move ahead. The judge upheld Shreveport’s special-use permit, meaning construction at Resilient Technology Park can proceed, with officials touting billions in investment and major tax and job impacts across Caddo and Bossier parishes.
