The record, newest first

  1. TCEQ issued an amended notice of the air permit application (permits 184403, PSDTX1712 and GHGPSDTX276) and called it administratively complete. (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Aug. 5, 2026)

  2. The Deaf Smith County Hospital District board was scheduled to take up Google's tax abatement request. (KFDA NewsChannel 10, July 14, 2026)

  3. Google held a public information meeting in Hereford with Intersect Power; reporting said about 3,700 acres had been bought or leased for the energy side, with about 90 permanent jobs and completion expected before 2030. (KFDA NewsChannel 10, July 14, 2026)

  4. IP Roman III Gas, LLC filed an application with TCEQ for air permits for a power generation facility northwest of Hereford. (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Aug. 5, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Power capacity of the data center is not stated in any source opened.
  • Coordinates are TCEQ's general-location marker for the power plant site, not the data center buildings.
  • Outcome of the hospital district abatement vote was not found.
  • The link between TCEQ permit 184403 and the Google project comes from KFDA's reporting, which cites the permit number.
