Fort Worth prepares for data center policy discussions amid public opposition

Fort Worth leaders are initiating discussions regarding data center development policies in response to growing public concern over environmental impact and quality of life. This comes as residents organize to urge a halt on new projects, and city officials have tabled or delayed decisions on proposed tax breaks and rezonings for companies like Edged Data Centers and Black Mountain. The city is preparing a report to guide future decisions, focusing on zoning, environmental impact, and utility usage.
