SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A new data center will soon be in the works in South-Central Texas.<\/p>\n

According to a March 25\u00a0filing<\/a> from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, a $65 million data center owned by Amazon is planned for construction on the west side of San Antonio later this year.<\/p>\n

The project, dubbed Lavender Hill, lists 2200 State Highway 211 as the address. Construction is expected to begin Nov. 20, 2026, with a completion estimate of Sept. 29, 2028.<\/p>\n

It will take up a total of 93,000 square feet, according to the project description, and the building itself is set to be two stories tall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The project adds to a growing number of data centers popping up all over the state, a phenomenon that has created division among some communities.<\/p>\n

San Antonio City Council has recently explored ways to regulate<\/a> the water and electricity used by these centers, which on average can use the same power as 80,000 homes per year.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Ric Galvan, who represents District 6, told Spectrum News last December he\u2019d been getting calls from constituents worried about environmental risks and potential impacts to utility bills as a result of data centers. He added that he understands the economic benefits the centers can bring and hopes partnerships with companies can reassure residents.<\/p>\n

According to a report from KSAT<\/a>, city leaders are also considering managing the data center boom on a local level with zoning requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A new data center will soon be in the works in South-Central Texas.
