This just became the first city in Texas to block a major data center. It would have brought billions of dollars into the small city, but used 4.6 million gallons or water and sewer daily.
The city’s leaders recognized the long term dangers and blocked it.
I’m curious as to how sites like this actually bring in money into a community, let alone billions. They bring their own construction crews, equipment and supplies, and when they’re done they hire like ten security guards. Not that I’m not happy with this current outcome. I feel it’s huge in light of everything. But that claim doesn’t feel right to me.
Probably taxes, land taxes, local employees, bribes to the local government, etc.
