Brenham city officials addressed public concerns regarding the planned Viridien technology facility, clarifying that it is not a data center or cryptocurrency site. Mayor Atwood Kenjura highlighted the project's transparency, noting it will use less water than traditional data centers and that electric service will be provided by Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative. The City Council is set to consider designating the property as a reinvestment zone in January 2026, which could allow for potential tax phase-in agreements.
