Grapevine will return up to $2.6 million in sales tax revenue to a data center wire and cable distributor that opened at 1800 State Highway 121 in April, under a 10-year incentive deal the city executed July 8.

C&O Supply, which distributes wire and cable for data center construction, will receive 50% of the sales tax it generates each year at its Grapevine facility, capped at $400,000 annually.

In exchange, the company must employ at least 50 full-time workers within 24 months of opening. City documents estimate the workforce at build-out will reach 50 to 75 employees.

The deal is now in effect.

The Grapevine City Council, led by Mayor William D. Tate, first approved the Chapter 380 agreement at its Tuesday, April 21 meeting.

Outdoor storage permit follows

Two weeks after execution, the council on Tuesday, July 21 approved a conditional use permit allowing C&O Supply to operate a 22,730-square-foot outdoor storage yard and park 10 delivery and service vehicles, including box trucks and trailers, at the same site.

The application was filed by Jeremy Williams with Silver Fox Ventures, according to the city's meeting agenda.

Permitted activities at the yard include storing and staging electrical materials, assembling prefab components, preparing and kitting materials for field installation, and receiving, packaging, and shipping materials used in data center construction.

Facility already open

C&O Supply received its certificate of occupancy from the city on Thursday, April 2, listed in city records as a "data center cable supplier."

A separate $350,000 interior renovation for warehouse racking covering about 9,700 square feet is underway at the site, with an estimated completion in October 2026, according to state licensing records.

The 16.6-acre property at 1800 SH 121 was previously rezoned from Community Commercial to Business Park under Ordinance No. 2023-059, and a site plan for an office-warehouse development was approved at that time. GTIS Partners, a New York-based real estate firm, is listed as the property owner.

No further council votes are pending on the incentive deal. The interior build-out is expected to wrap up by October 2026.
