Guadalupe County Commissioners APPROVES CloudBurst Data Center
WEEKEND EDITION
TODAY
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – A new data center is on its way to Guadlaupe County. Guadalupe County Commissioners on Tuesday approved a development agreement and tax abatement package for a CloudBurst multi-billion-dollar data center campus in northern Guadalupe County. The decision reverses a course of action taken by the court back in February. With the item back on the agenda, commissioners spent nearly four hours hearing public comment, listening to a presentation from CloudBurst representatives, and debating the proposal before ultimately approving it in a 3 to 2 vote. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher, Precinct 2 Commissioner Drew Engelke and Precinct 3 Commissioner Jim Wolverton voted in favor of the
project. Precinct 1 Commissioner Jaqueline Ott and Precinct 4 Commissioner Stephen Germann voted against it. The proposal has sharply divided the community. More than 30 people either appeared in person, participated by phone or joined online to voice concerns about the project. Many who attended Tuesday’s meeting left disappointed after seeing the court approve the project despite what appeared to be overwhelming public opposition. Before the vote, each commissioner except Wolverton explained his or her position. Kutscher says the county’s limited land-use authority makes the development agreement and tax abatement a critical enforcement tool. Center, pg. 2

(Seguin) – Although the county’s newest data center got the green light, it still brought with it plenty of public protest. More than 35 people filled the Guadalupe County
Courthouse on Tuesday to protest the proposed CloudBurst data center project and the tax abatement package tied to it. Concerns, pg. 3
