For 15 years, a McKinney-based nonprofit organization has served nearly 1,500 people recovering from addiction.

The big picture: Since its founding in 2011, Grace to Change has helped nearly 1,500 people recover from addiction through its outpatient program, officials at the nonprofit organization said. Grace to Change is one of only two nonprofit treatment centers in Collin County and the only one that serves both teens and adults, Founder and Executive Director Shannon White said.

“My tagline right now is, I say, we’re a dying breed with a growing need,” White said. “Nonprofit treatment centers don’t really exist.”

Read all about it: Grace to Change operates as a licensed outpatient substance abuse treatment center that provides distinct programs for youth and adults, White said. The organization’s program is split into two parts.

Clients who graduate from the program have access to the organization’s aftercare support. Aftercare support is included in the initial cost to enroll in Grace to Change’s program and graduates can access it as needed, Development Consultant Joy Booth said.

A second Smalls Sliders restaurant is now open in McKinney, according to a company news release.

The gist: The quick-service restaurant sells hamburger sliders, waffle-cut fries, milkshakes and party trays.

Texas senators indicated Sept. 1 that they intend to tighten regulations on data centers during next year’s legislative session, which begins in January.

What they're saying: “I think every member's district has had an impact from a data center conversation, so there will be plenty of bills trying to put things in place that are reasonable, responsible regulatory frameworks for data centers,” state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, said.

The big picture: With some Texas residents and conservation groups sounding the alarm about water-intensive technologies used by some data centers, state agencies have warned that limited information is available on how much water the industry actually uses. Officials said they have also had trouble determining exactly how many data centers are operating in the state today, as there is no “comprehensive statewide list” of existing and planned facilities.

Estimates from state agencies and the University of Texas at Austin suggest that roughly 370 data centers are currently operating in Texas, with about 100 facilities under construction and another 180 being proposed.
