## Resource

Data centers are booming in rural North Texas, sparking fierce local backlash over water, power, and land use — while county leaders struggle to regulate them without city-level zoning power. Jack County paused a $600M CyrusOne tax break, Parker County holds a special meeting on water and grid impacts, and Hood County faces scrutiny over a 2,100-acre site near a state park. Residents demand protections as these massive projects promise jobs and revenue — but officials are caught between economic incentives and community concerns, navigating a patchwork of limited regulatory tools.
