The company did not disclose a purchase price in the announcement, but the scale of the site positions it among the larger single-campus land holdings in the state. McGregor, located near Waco, has attracted data center interest due to its proximity to Texas grid infrastructure and available land. The acquisition signals Galaxy's intent to develop large-scale compute capacity in central Texas.
