Data Center Boom Exposes GOP Faultlines over Local Control

Caldwell County, Texas, faces a data center boom, with local officials and citizens pushing for greater local control to regulate developments due to concerns over energy and water consumption. They are advocating for state legislation to grant counties more land-use authority and proposing a moratorium, despite the state's historical move towards state supremacy over local control. Several data center projects, including those from Tract, Edged, and Powerhouse, are planned for the county.
