San Angelo Reveals New Details on Proposed Data Center as Residents Voice Concerns

As San Angelo prepares for possible negotiations with Skybox and Emergent on a proposed data center project, city officials are providing more details about a potential site near Highway 67 North and City Farm Road. Planning officials say the proposed development could include multiple buildings totaling hundreds of thousands of square feet over several years. Residents have raised concerns about noise, water use, and power reliability, but the city says regulations adopted earlier this year impose strict limits on noise levels, water consumption, and site design. Officials say developers would be required to prove compliance before construction begins. The city also notes that state regulations prioritize power for homes and essential services during periods of grid stress. No formal development application has been submitted at this time.
