Last verified: October 27, 2026 · 1 tracked project · 3 tracked records

Overview

Texas Data Center Watch tracks one data center project in Hall County: the QTS / Lancium Hall County campus near Turkey, listed as announced.

QTS and Lancium announced the campus on July 13, 2026, on Lancium's Clean Campus near Turkey. QTS would design, build and operate the data center buildings, and Lancium owns the campus and its electrical and civil infrastructure. The companies cite more than $10B in capital investment, up to 11 data center buildings on about 465 acres, and closed-loop cooling once the campus is operating. Those are company figures (QTS; Lancium; QTS community page).

Oct. 14 infrastructure agreement: KVII/ABC7 Amarillo reports an agreement under which QTS and Lancium would provide up to $15.5M to the City of Turkey for infrastructure through 2032: $10.5M in payments plus up to $5M for roads, utilities and drainage. A separate one-time contribution would cover water-tower and sewer work. The station quotes the city manager (KVII/ABC7 Amarillo).

As of Oct. 15, 2026, Texas Data Center Watch hasn't opened a state building registration (TDLR), a Comptroller Chapter 312 abatement filing, or Hall County Commissioners Court minutes for this campus. No megawatt figure appears in the records opened.

What's next

These dates come from the tracker. Texas Data Center Watch has no recorded upcoming Hall County hearings or votes on data centers.

Statewide permit pause: Under the Governor's Sept. 21 order halting permits sought by data centers (Governor's office), TCEQ sent its Oct. 19 compliance letter: it says permits for infrastructure directly supporting data centers are paused, pending applications are being screened, and claimed authorizations are suspended where possible (TCEQ letter). The Texas Tribune reported Oct. 20 that TCEQ says stormwater permits flagged by Public Citizen were suspended (Texas Tribune). On Oct. 21 TCEQ posted that its STEERS e-filing system for automatic authorizations is temporarily shut down so staff can check whether applications relate to data centers (TCEQ STEERS notice); the Texas Tribune reports a spokesman said applications must be physically provided (Texas Tribune, Oct. 21). The tracker doesn't show whether any project in Hall County has a pending TCEQ permit.
