Bridge work on Ralph Fair Road in Fair Oaks Ranch is planned to reach substantial completion in April, and Fair Oaks Ranch City Council has considered utility projects along two upcoming road reconstruction efforts. Learn more about three projects near Fair Oaks Ranch.

Upcoming projects

Ammann Road: The project includes roadway widening, drainage and utility improvements. City Council in March approved a waterline replacement project along the road and will consider an agreement with Kendall County for the softening of the road's northern sharp curve April 2.

Rolling Acres Trail: The project includes reconstruction of around 1,300 linear feet of Rolling Acres Trail between Ammann Road and Flagstone Hill Drive to reduce road deterioration. A drainage improvement project for Rolling Acres Rail in Fair Oaks Ranch is being canceled due to project cost and impact. 

Ongoing projects

Ralph Fair Road Cibolo Creek Bridge: A new bridge is being constructed over Cibolo Creek in Fair Oaks Ranch. On April 1, traffic on the bridge was reduced to one lane to install the final striping configuration.

Statewide News
ERCOT, developers detail plans to manage data center growth amid legislative scrutiny

The Texas power grid is undergoing “generational” growth, experts said during the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ annual summit March 31 in Round Rock. Much of that growth is due to data centers—an industry under scrutiny from state lawmakers as some Texas communities push back against proposed developments.

The big picture: Over 2,000 projects totaling 453,000 megawatts are currently looking to connect to the state grid, ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas said April 1. About 357,000 megawatts of those connection requests are potential data centers, ERCOT documents show.

Looking ahead: Communities should take the lead on discussions about individual data center projects, Vegas told reporters. He said that when “communities that are ready to support those investments,” ERCOT is prepared to help data centers connect to the grid.

During a March 31 discussion on data centers, panelists noted that the projects have an “increasingly high” negative reputation in communities across the state. Austin consultant Eric Goff said developers often need to make commitments to local residents to earn their support for data center proposals.
