Why this page exists
Hyperscale data centers are spreading town by town, usually with quiet approvals — we have already tracked 220 across Texas. Projects often arrive quietly in towns exactly like Houston: a rezoning consent-agenda item, then a campus by the substation. Learn what they look like, check the parcels near you, and this page will update as reports come in.
