3 issues in development with critical priority
Caldwell County just approved a massive $1.3 billion data center, but it comes with some hefty tax breaks. We’re looking at a major tech boom, but it’s worth asking if the long-term strain on our roads and power grid is worth the trade-off.
Lockhart is hitting the brakes on new data centers and crypto mines to make sure these power-hungry facilities don't crash our local grid. The city is drafting new zoning rules to keep infrastructure from getting overwhelmed.
Lockhart is landing a $23M nuclear research reactor that promises to turn the town into a high-tech hub. It’s a massive economic win, but it’s definitely going to stir up some heated conversations about safety and how fast the area is changing.
