Bastrop County commissioners have approved a 10-year property tax abatement for EdgeConneX's $1.4 billion data center project in Cedar Creek, which will cover 2.8 million square feet and is expected to take five to eight years to complete. The first building is slated for completion by June 2025, with anticipated revenues of about $100 million for Bastrop ISD and $7 million for the county. Local residents have raised concerns about potential noise and traffic increases, while some are hopeful for infrastructure improvements.
