## Resource

El Paso City Council is poised to vote next Tuesday on whether to begin negotiations for a Community Benefits Agreement with Meta’s new data center—focusing not on whether the project stays, but what the city and its residents actually gain. The proposed CBA would tackle environmental protections, utility upgrades, cost transparency, job quality, and resource safety, all aimed at ensuring community-wide benefits. This comes just one week after the council rejected ending Meta’s current incentive deal, signaling a shift toward structured oversight. If approved, stakeholders—including city staff, utilities, Meta, and community reps—will collaborate to draft a 45-day timeline for final council review. This vote is the critical first step toward making sure El Paso’s growth translates into tangible gains for its people. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
