The Corpus Christi City Council is scheduled to meet on July 21, 2026, with a published agenda that includes a staff briefing on data centers and a related staff motion, according to the meeting agenda posted on the city’s Legistar system.
According to the published agenda, item 26-1157 is listed as a “Briefing on Data Centers, including overview of Governor Abbott’s recent guidelines,” sponsored by the city’s Intergovernmental Relations office. A separate item, 26-1152, is described in the agenda as a “Motion to direct staff regarding data centers.” The agenda does not specify the content of Governor Abbott’s guidelines or the specific direction proposed in the staff motion.
The same agenda also includes an item sponsored by Corpus Christi Water addressing rates for all customer classes effective January 1, 2027. The agenda does not detail the amount or structure of the proposed rates.
For residents, the agenda items are notable because they combine a briefing on state-level guidance for data center development with a council-directed motion on the topic, alongside a separate water rate item affecting all customer classes beginning in 2027, according to the posted record.
