Residents raise concerns as data centers eye Caldwell County

Caldwell County, Texas, is attracting significant interest from data center developers, with Prime Data Centers proceeding with plans for an eight-data center project. While residents like Derek Emadi express concerns about noise, construction, and rural character, County Judge Hoppy Haden acknowledges the lack of county zoning authority. The county is entering tax abatement agreements with developers that include environmental requirements like closed-loop cooling and water use limits.
