Gov: Hill County Commissioners

During a commissioners court meeting on Thursday, Hill County Commissioners voted to rescind a previously issued moratorium on data centers. This vote comes after a Texas data center developer filed a $100 million federal lawsuit last month against Hill County officials, alleging that the moratorium was blocking data center development in the area. The lawsuit appears to have prompted the commissioners' decision to lift the ban.
