Why We Are Meeting
Recent meetings held by EdgeConneX data center developers were touted as “town halls” but they were sales pitches that left many questions unanswered.
EdgeConneX is planning a massive data center facility (6752 FM 535 at Wolf Lane and FM 535), in Cedar Creek, next to the Stoney Point neighborhood’s 100 families. This project is just one of many data centers targeting Bastrop County. We need to discuss the potential impacts this "gold rush" will have on our natural resources, community safety, and wallets.
The Political Stakes
While the Governor has begun taking action, the Texas Legislature left the door open for AI data center abuse by taking little action during the 2023 and 2025 sessions. We believe we need a Special Session as this cannot wait until 2027.
