What’s happening: Denton sandwich shop, New York Sub Hub, opened a food truck at the Austin St Truck Stop behind East Side.

New York Sub Hub has been part of the Denton community since the 70s and second-generation owner Hunter Christiansen said the food truck was a chance to expand the New York Sub Hub name.

The food truck offers a scaled-down version of the original menu of sliced-to-order subs, forgoing some of the least popular items until the truck is more established and fridge space is more structured.

Hours are listed on New York Sub Hub’s Instagram.

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 one 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.
