    Economic Development

    This resource provides county officials with information and materials related to the economic development of data centers in Texas. Whether your county is exploring new opportunities, evaluating potential projects or seeking to better understand the industry, these resources are designed to help local leaders stay informed about one of the fastest-growing sectors of the modern economy.

    TAC CIRA collaborated with state agency partners, county leaders, industry experts and TAC’s legal and legislative teams to create this resource. It is purely informative. TAC does not advocate for or against specific projects.
