Local data center officials not worried about Abbott’s permit pause

Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt new data center permits statewide, strengthening an existing moratorium until energy and water audits are completed. Despite this, Infrakey officials stated it would not disrupt their planned 520-acre data center project in Lacy-Lakeview, which has already faced local opposition. Opponents view Abbott's permit pause as an election-driven move amidst growing statewide resistance to data center development.
