Residents urge county to void Chapter 381 amendment tied to Meta data center
Summary
Speakers at the March 19 El Paso County Commissioners Court public comment period urged commissioners to void a proposed Chapter 381 amendment covering a Worldwide/Meta data center, citing water scarcity, utility‑rate risks, secrecy from NDAs and a pending power‑plant application before the PUCT.
Public commentators told the El Paso County Commissioners Court on March 19 that the county should void a planned Chapter 381 amendment tied to a Worldwide/Meta data center project.
“At the end of the day Meta will not contribute in a positive way to the people of El Paso,” said Sol Gonzalez, an organizer with Sanosansa, during the court’s public‑comment period.
