League City residents raise concerns about Marina del Sol

Several residents raised public safety concerns about the waterfront Marina del Sol development at the Nov. 18 League City City Council meeting, prompting city officials to say they would discuss solutions at a December meeting.

Mayor Nick Long said the residents' concerns would be addressed at the Dec. 16 council meeting.

What they’re saying: BJ Buchanan who lives adjacent to the marina said he’d seen suspicious activity and had observed unlicensed boats docking in the marina. 

The backstory: In 2023, League City designated the area as a planned unit development, adding additional parking while leaving the marina unchanged as roughly 45 people lived on their boats there at the time, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

Google commits $40B to 3 data new centers, infrastructure in Texas through 2027

Google is targeting Texas for future investments in data and artificial infrastructure, with $40 billion expected to be spent on adding three new data centers.

Federal, state and local leaders announced the new centers to be constructed in Armstrong and Haskell counties at a Nov. 14 event at the first Texas Google Data Center in Midlothian, near the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The gist: One new data center will be constructed in Armstrong County near Amarillo, and two new data centers will be constructed in Haskell County near Abilene. One center in Haskell County will also use a new solar and battery energy storage plant.

“They say that everything is bigger in Texas—and that certainly applies to the golden opportunity with AI,” Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said.

Also of note: The driverless car company Waymo is expanding to North Texas in 2026, Pichai said.
