Abbott Targets Rural Data Centers | Austin News

Governor Greg Abbott is pivoting on data centers, demanding they stop building in rural Texas, end tax breaks, and go fully self-sufficient with power and water — a move that’s sparking political fire and public backlash. While he once celebrated tech investments like Google’s, his new stance is seen by opponents as election-driven, especially as rural voters — his core base — increasingly oppose these facilities. Cities like San Marcos have banned them, Hays County has paused approvals, and polls show majority opposition. With the legislature gearing up for more hearings, data center regulation is set to dominate next year’s policy debates.
