Edinburg, Texas
Residents in Edinburg took the opportunity at Tuesdays Commission meeting to voice that they do not want data centers in their city. During the public comment session, speakers Joe Rodriguez and Marilyn Lara urged the council to reconsider development, citing serious concerns about increased cancer risks, grid instability, and water scarcity in the Rio Grande Valley. Drawing comparisons to the "Colossus" supercomputer in Tennessee and the environmental impact of Starbase in Brownsville, residents questioned who would bear the financial liability for potential grid failures and emphasized that the promise of tech innovation should not come at the expense of community health.
Despite "closed-loop" cooling claims, fears remain that data centers will tap into the scarce RGV water supply, alongside concerns of rolling blackouts and rate increases to support the crypto/AI load.
Notably, because this feedback was delivered during the public comment section, the City Council was legally restricted from responding to the speakers during the meeting.

Enjoy being "Puro 956" while you can... a new area code is coming. π±
Itβs officially 2026, and this might be the last full year that the Rio Grande Valley/Laredo is exclusively "The 956."
According to the latest federal reports (NANPA), the 956 area code is projected to officially exhaust (run out of new numbers) by early 2027.
What this means for us this year: State regulators are expected to announce the new "Overlay" area code sometime in 2026 to prepare for the switch.
If you have a 956 number: You keep it.
After the numbers exhaust you will likely get the new area code (whatever they decide to call it).
If you got a "956" tattoo not sure what to tell you.
There are already threads online predicting the new code could be 449 (unconfirmed!), but we won't know for sure until the state makes the official announcement.

To continue advocacy efforts, Commissioners approved the immediate creation of the "One City Committee," a new establishment designed to promote positive "human relations and equitable outcomes and opportunities in all aspects of community life" for all minority communities.
