## Resource

Fort Worth is pausing new data center projects while it crafts smarter rules—after heated debates, community input, and a zoning commission rejecting the current plan. City staff will unveil updated recommendations August 4, with a possible council vote for a temporary moratorium by August 11. If approved, a state-mandated public hearing process will begin, with final decisions likely by December. The city’s balancing act—protecting neighborhoods while guiding tech growth—is part of a broader Texas trend: San Marcos banned them, Hood County approved a massive one. Fort Worth’s goal?
