· Texas Border Business
During a recent City Commission meeting in Brownsville, officials discussed a proposed 90-day moratorium on High-Intensity Data Processing Facilities, commonly known as data centers. This was the second of three public hearings aimed at gathering citizen feedback before a final decision is made. The moratorium would pause the acceptance and processing of applications for data centers within the city and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. Mayor John Cowen Jr. emphasized the importance of public input in evaluating the potential impacts of such facilities. A final vote on the moratorium is expected on November 4, with the moratorium potentially starting on November 5, 2023.
