Resident urges pause on data-center development; Judge says county awaits Governor's moratorium
Summary
A Farwell resident told the court he helped send a petition asking the Governor to slow data-center development so the public can provide input; the county judge said the Commissioners Court currently lacks standing and is awaiting action from the Governor.
During the open forum, resident Seth Murphree addressed the Court about data centers, stating he helped send a petition from Parmer County to the Governor asking for a slowdown in the process to allow more public information and input. "He informed the Court that he helped send a petition from Parmer County to the Governor in regard to slowing down this process in Texas to allow more information to the public and input from the public," the minutes record.
County Judge Isabel "Izzy" Carrasco thanked Murphree and said the Commissioners welcome public interaction, but noted the Court currently has no standing in the approval process and is waiting on the Governor, who has placed a moratorium on new data-center development at present according to the minutes.
