East Texas county judge says state law limits options as residents oppose data center

Angelina County residents are opposing a proposed data center by AmpZ Champion Data Center Holdings due to environmental concerns. County Judge Keith Wright stated the county has limited power to stop development, citing Hill County's experience with a developer lawsuit after enacting a moratorium. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has also called for new statewide regulations on data centers concerning electricity and water usage.
