Local votes and rules

📌 Other · Unincorporated Brazoria County

Brazoria County commissioners unanimously passed a resolution saying future data centers should not move forward without an independent study of power, water, farmland, drainage and road costs. It also calls for limits on water use, distance from homes, schools and hospitals, and fees so taxpayers do not pay the costs.

📌 Other · Alvin

Alvin City Council voted unanimously for Resolution 26-R-25, which says the council opposes new data centers in the city until more studies and rule reviews are done. It is a statement, not a ban. It came after a developer looked at a 100 to 200 acre site near Alvin.

✋ Turned down · Unincorporated Brazoria County

Brazoria County commissioners voted unanimously not to create a tax break zone (reinvestment zone) for the Old Ocean data center by Nightpeak Energy. That step was needed for a $10.5 million tax break. The plan was a 310-megawatt data center with a 310-megawatt gas power plant. Commissioners cited power demand and few lasting jobs.

In Texas, cities decide inside city limits. Outside cities, the county has the say, but Texas counties have very few zoning powers.
