State agency plans Houston-area industrial park with data centers, distribution hub

Alaska's Department of Natural Resources proposed transferring a 30-square-mile parcel north of Houston to AIDEA for an industrial park, which could include data centers. Local officials and residents have raised concerns about the potential environmental impact, water usage, and recreational trail disruption. The Houston City Council is considering a ban on data centers within city limits, with a vote postponed.
