HAYS COUNTY— Texas State House Rep. Erin Zwiener has formed a working group with Hays County leaders to address community concerns surrounding data centers, water use and local authority.
This comes on the heels of multiple proposals for data centers in Hays County — in the San Marcos city limits, extraterritorial jurisdiction and in unincorporated areas. Due to this, there has been massive community confusion and frustration about the proposals, along with what tools are available for city and county officials, Zwiener explained.
“My goal with creating this working group is to bring the players, people who have either some sort of legal authority over these issues or a stake in these issues, together to talk about the problem and brainstorm solutions, so that the community here in Hays County actually has a voice in the outcome,” the state representative said.
