Brownsville Moves Forward with Proposal to Suspend Permits for Data Centers
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
During a special meeting held on Wednesday, October 7, the Brownsville City Commission established a 90-day delay on data processing centers to assess their potential impacts on natural resources, public health, and resident safety. The process began after a zoning request related to a data center in a former Walmart building was submitted on July 1. The City Commission is scheduled to conduct the second and final reading on November 4, when the measure will require the support of three-quarters of the commissioners for final approval. If approved, the suspension would begin on November 5, 2026, and remain in effect until February 3, 2027.
