Small Town Texas Opposes Big Data Center | Darlene Sanchez

from The Report

Across the United States, data centers are arriving in small towns at a rapid pace, bringing promises of jobs and tax revenue—as well as plenty of local opposition. In Taylor, Texas, the conflict is especially sharp. Land donated in 1999 for a public park later changed hands and was sold for $10 million dollars to a data center developer. The planned billion-dollar facility will sit right next to a residential neighborhood. Longtime resident Pamela Griffin is leading the fight, organizing neighbors and challenging the project in court. For many residents, this is no longer just about one development—it’s about whether a promise made to their community still means anything.Join host Benjamin Trenerry and Darlene Sanchez as they delve into this story.Please email your thoughts or insights on this episode to: [email protected] your support for The Epoch Times and independent journalism by leaving a 5 star review of this show on your podcast platform or visit www.RateThisPodcast.com/epochreports
