The Abilene City Council in Texas has greenlit a 957-space RV park on Elmdale Road, designated exclusively for temporary housing of workers building data centers. Construction is expected to take 6–8 months, and the project is seen as a temporary measure to ease housing market pressure.
Local residents have expressed concerns about potential traffic increases of up to 2,000 vehicles per day. Authorities plan to conduct a traffic impact analysis to determine necessary improvements on Elmdale Road.
