D. Lee Edwards - New Braunfels City Council District 3

The City and NBU have some power, but the bulk of it comes from the State level. My promise to you is that I will continue to do everything in our power to stop data centers from coming into our city limits. We are working behind the scenes to draft ordinances and work with NBU on utility restrictions. We are also monitoring what is happening with the City of San Marcos. Data centers do not belong here.

Thank you to everyone in District 3 who came out to today’s community forum. Your questions, your concerns, and your engagement are exactly what makes this district strong. I’m grateful for every one of you who showed up.

Among the issues raised today, residents of Champions Village, TBarM, Mission Hills, and surrounding neighborhoods brought forward real concerns about the sewer line project affecting their area. Following the forum, I connected directly with NBU CEO Ryan Kelso, and we’ve agreed on a path forward. Full details are attached below.

Thank you for holding us accountable. That’s how local government is supposed to work.
