Williamson County officials plan to reorganize several departments within county facilities to alleviate overcrowding, County Manager Rebecca Clemons said at a Sept. 22 Commissioners Court meeting.

What's happening: Clemons proposed relocating the majority of the Information Technology Department into the former Williamson County Georgetown Tax Office in order to repurpose existing space for the Elections and Adult Probation departments.

The IT Department is currently housed in the Inner Loop Annex.

Additionally, the plan includes reorganizing the Sheriff's Office to create space for a future Medical Examiner's Office.

The backstory: Several county departments moved into the new Administration Building in July, freeing up some space in other county facilities.

What's next: Facilities staff will make minor modifications to begin the moves immediately. Once the spaces are fully vacated, staff will review with department heads and present finalized plans to the court, Clemons said.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality must stop issuing new permits for data centers, Gov. Greg Abbott said Sept. 21.

The overview: His order expands an existing pause on data center development in the state amid consistent public criticism of the booming industry. Abbott, who is running for a fourth term as governor, has recently moved to slow the growth of data centers after calling Texas “the epicenter of AI development" last year.

The context: Hundreds of proposed data centers are currently being audited by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state power grid.

Some developers may be able to get around the ERCOT pause by building in-house power infrastructure that is not connected to the grid, experts have said.

However, any construction project impacting at least 1 acre of land requires permits from TCEQ.

What they're saying: "As Texas faces increasing pressure on our water supplies and electric grid, we need to ensure that data centers operate efficiently and sustainably," said Luke Metzger, executive director of Environment Texas.
