Brenham, Texas is a small town built on family, farmland, history, and a way of life that values peace, safety, and community. We are being asked to accept a massive industrial data center and energy-intensive facility that would permanently change who we are and how we live. These facilities are not ordinary warehouses or offices. They operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. They rely on enormous cooling systems, electrical substations, backup generators, and security lighting that run continuously. This creates constant noise, heavy electrical infrastructure, and bright lighting that never shuts off — changing the character of the area forever. Residents who live near similar facilities across Texas and the United States report nonstop humming, vibration, truck traffic, and night-time lighting that makes it impossible to enjoy quiet, darkness, or peace in their own homes. Once these facilities are built, the impacts cannot be undone. Brenham is not an industrial zone. We are a town of homes, schools, churches, farms, historic neighborhoods, and small businesses. We deserve development that fits our community — not a facility designed for massive power consumption and industrial operations. This type of project would place stress on: Our electrical grid Our water supply Our roads and emergency services Our rural landscape and night skies Our property values and quality of life 
We are not against progress. We are against being forced to become an industrial utility corridor without our consent. We call on local leaders, county officials, and state regulators to deny permits and zoning changes for any large-scale data center or energy hub proposed in or near Brenham. Our community deserves transparency, public hearings, and the right to protect our future. Brenham should remain a place to raise families, run small businesses, farm the land, and enjoy a peaceful way of life — not a 24-hour industrial power site.   REMEMBER YOUR VOTE COUNTS THIS ELECTION SEASON!!
