Building on Texas's Pro-Growth Legacy
From Lubbock and Amarillo to Midland, El Paso, and Waco, data center investment is bringing new jobs and opportunities to communities across Texas. The Infrastructure Alliance of Texas advocates for a policy framework that works for communities and industry alike — backed by clear guardrails and real accountability for water use, electrical capacity, and environmental conservation.

Investment Done the Texas Way – Supporting Governor Abbott’s Plan
Accountability for Critical Resources like Water
Clear, Well-Documented Benefits
Data center investments are bringing new jobs and opportunity to communities across the state, but they must be done the Texas way, supported by clear guardrails and community benefits. This is why the Infrastructure Alliance of Texas supports Governor Abbott’s efforts to advance responsible data center growth through new standards and accountability measures.
As with any major infrastructure project, growth should be paired with the same accountability Texans expect and deserve, especially as it relates to conserving Texas' water and ensuring developers pay for any grid updates.
Data centers should demonstrate the direct value they bring to communities and the state budget through transparent tax contributions and local investment that create jobs, positively impact school revenue, expand broadband and grid investments, and provide personal property tax relief.
