Residents in Karnack, Texas, particularly those along North Stateline Road, are voicing major concerns about the ongoing construction of a new data center. They describe daily challenges, including noise pollution, severe road damage, and a perceived lack of consideration for the local community.

According to residents, the construction has made driving on their road very difficult, with flaggers who appear inexperienced, rocks scattered in the road, and sections of the road now missing. They characterize the situation as a "huge disruption" to their daily lives.

One resident expressed fear that the current conditions are the best it's going to get, anticipating that the situation will only worsen as construction continues. The community wishes the data center developers were more considerate of the citizens affected by the project.
