Record confirms

Bastrop EDC says a $1.4 billion data center is being constructed at the northeast corner of FM 535 and Wolf Lane in Cedar Creek, with the first of four buildings scheduled for completion in June 2026.

Why this matters

Bastrop County is becoming a Central Texas growth test case where data centers, schools, roads, utilities, industrial clusters, and rural land-use concerns overlap.

Watch next

TDLR filings, county tax-abatement records, TCEQ permits, utility commitments, road-access records, school capacity and local agenda items.

Public question

What water, power, road, tax-abatement, school-capacity, and emergency-service records should Bastrop County residents and local officials watch as the campus phases in?

Possible local levers

Local officials can use phased construction to require transparent infrastructure sequencing, public-dollar accountability, and community impact monitoring.

Action window

No single deadline — monitor county/city agendas, permits, utilities and abatements
