News broke out that Chris Nettles, who sold out his district for 20K for a hyperscale data center that will poison everyone, is being sued by the State of Texas.

We have questions. Like - Is this why Chris Nettles accepted that 20K from Black Mountain?

Background: Black Mountain donated $20K to Chris Nettles’ campaign and he is supporting them building their $10 billion HYPERSCALE data center in his district (district 8) DEPSITE community opposition.

Please join our FWECC monthly meeting featuring a “STOP THE DATA CENTERS” Townhall on Thursday, 08/27, at 6:00 PM at Eugene McCray Community Center (4932 Wilbarger St, Fort Worth, TX 76119).

We will have a discussion around the latest on data centers in Fort Worth, including the Black Mountain HYPERSCALE data center project. We know things are moving quickly and it is hard to keep up, that is why it is important to get together!

The Fort Worth City Council approved the start of the moratorium process, while secretly pushing the hyperscale Black Mountain project through. Businesses can rush to become vested, so they can start their data center projects before the moratorium starts in Feb 2027. There are MANY things to talk about.

We will have a panel featuring local leaders including:
Letitia “Tee’ Wilbourn: Co-Chair of FWECC & Secretary of Echo Heights Stop Six Environmental Coalition
Sue Weston: Owner of the Historic Weston Gardens
Ambika Sharma: Community Advocate
Brian Crawford: Community Advocate in Hood County

Bring your questions and get ready to have an important discussion on how we can work together to stop data centers in Fort Worth!

Today at the Fort Worth City Council Meeting, the City Council approved the HYPERSCALE Black Mountain data center for construction.Black Mountain started this project in 2024, before anyone really understood the impacts of data centers - and yet, the City Council continues to hold onto that to push this through. They used the moratorium to hide the fact that they were pushing through a HYPERSCALE data center. They could’ve voted NO to protect our communities, but of course, they sided with corporations AGAIN.

There are other ways to fight this and it doesn’t end today. We will discuss those strategies as well as what has happened the past few years with data centers and the Black Mountain data center project.

Join our FWECC monthly meeting featuring a “STOP THE DATA CENTERS” Townhall on Thursday, 08/27, at 6:00 PM at Eugene McCray Community Center (4932 Wilbarger St, Fort Worth, TX 76119).

You can still take action and make your voice heard even if you cannot attend in person! Submit a written comment by 08/25 at 9am!

Go to the agenda item “12. Zoning” and go to “12.2 ZC-26-041” and put “AGAINST THE ITEM”

Black Mountain is requesting zoning changes for their hyperscale data center to increase the maximum height to 70 feet
and increase the maximum building setback to 150 feet.

We MUST show up or submit written comments to Fort Worth City Council demanding they vote NO to this zoning request. Tell them we do NOT want Black Mountain’s hyperscale data center in our community. There should be no allowances for data centers. They are in the process of passing a moratorium and should deny any zoning requests - that is what community wants!

Check out slide 2 to see their site plan and HOW CLOSE the HYPERSCALE data center will be to houses!!! This is INSANE.

We have to keep showing up!
