CloudBurst San Marcos / New Braunfels AI data-center campus
This project illustrates why county-line governance and phased capacity claims matter in fast-growing Central Texas.
Project lifecycle
Current stage is based on the reviewed record and may change as new filings become public.
CloudBurst and Evolve announced groundbreaking for a campus master-planned for up to 1.2 GW, with an initial 50 MW phase targeted for Q4 2026.
Its location across a fast-growing corridor raises questions about county authority, onsite generation, water, noise, roads, fire protection, tax agreements and cumulative large-load impacts.
County development and tax-abatement agreements, TCEQ permits for onsite power, ERCOT/utility records, groundwater or utility service, fire-code review and road improvements.
What approvals and infrastructure commitments apply across the Hays/Guadalupe county line, and how will the project’s ultimate scale be limited or phased?
Coordinate county agreements, utility and fire-service capacity, noise standards, permit enforcement, road access and transparent phase-by-phase reporting.
First phase targeted for Q4 2026
