Mesquite passed Ordinance 5259 with detailed rules for data centers. Each one needs a special permit (Conditional Use Permit) with public hearings, plus noise, power and water studies. Buildings must be 300 feet from homes and schools, and outdoor equipment like generators 500 feet. The ordinance also bans commercial crypto mining in all districts.

(co-op (owned by its members)) or Farmers Electric Co-op, Inc. (co-op (owned by its members)) or Hilco Electric Cooperative, Inc. (co-op (owned by its members)).

Big data centers need a lot of power. Who pays for new power lines depends on state rules. See the rules in Texas.
