⏸️ Pause on new data centers · Unincorporated Austin County
Austin County commissioners voted unanimously for a countywide pause on new AI data centers and large battery storage sites in unincorporated areas. Developers must hand in an audit of their equipment makers and a sworn statement that no equipment comes from banned foreign companies. No building can start until the county says they comply.
