Turkey Texas Gets Lifeline from Data Center | Amarillo News

Turkey, Texas, a town of just 317 people, is on the brink of crisis as its century-old water system collapses—leaving residents without water or under boil notices. With a $10 billion data center project looming just outside town, the influx of workers and future residents threatens to overwhelm already failing infrastructure. But here’s the twist: the data center’s parent company, QTS, is stepping in with a $250 million investment over ten years—including funding for a brand-new water tower—to help Turkey upgrade its systems. While the town welcomes the lifeline, leaders like City Manager Lynette Findley stress this is only the start; they’re determined to ensure growth respects their limits and delivers real, lasting benefits for rural Texas.
