Hall Park broke ground on two new projects in the mixed-use development in Frisco on June 10. 

The details: The projects include The Terraces Hall Park, which is a Class A office tower, and a $14 million expansion of Kaleidoscope Park. Hall Park is developed by the Hall Group and the park is owned by the city and operated by the Kaleidoscope Park Foundation. 

Officials broke ground on both projects at a June 10 celebration.

Gov. Abbott tells PUC, ERCOT to ensure Texas consumers do not foot the bill for data center growth

Texas must protect residential consumers from paying for the infrastructure needed to power new data centers, Gov. Greg Abbott said in a June 10 order aimed at balancing the rapid growth of data centers with the needs of residents and communities.

The big picture: The governor directed state regulators to ensure data center companies do not pass infrastructure costs on to ratepayers, urging lawmakers to tighten regulations on data centers’ water use and repeal certain tax exemptions that benefit the industry.

Abbott’s order comes as Texas grapples with how to manage the data center boom amid climbing electric demand and looming water shortages. It is the first time the Republican governor has publicly called to restrict data center growth.

The context: As communities across Texas consider new data center projects, reporting shows that some residents are pushing back, raising concerns about the large facilities’ water usage, potential strain on the electric grid and impacts on local neighborhoods.

What they're saying: In response, state agencies called protecting consumers from rising electric costs "our top priority."
