Amazon’s Wharton County Data Center Project Needs More County Permits
Amazon is preparing a 3,000-acre Wharton County campus near Boling for 10 data center buildings, with the first about 189,000 sq ft targeted for 2027 completion. Construction can’t yet proceed because additional county permits are still needed. Opposition to Texas land and power competition has spread statewide, and Gov. Abbott audits have already slowed the pipeline.
