Concerns arise over data center water and power usage in Cameron County
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A new data center is being developed on over 1,100 acres in Cameron County, near Rio Hondo. While the project promises economic benefits, local residents like Isaac Newman express concerns about its long-term impact on water resources and community well-being. Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño highlighted the need for responsible water and power management, noting that Fluidstack's closed-loop cooling system aims to minimize water usage. The county has granted a worksite permit, but further permits are needed for construction. Fluidstack's investment could exceed $20 million, but community members are wary of potential noise and environmental effects.
