The FM 535 infrastructure corridor

AUS02, EDCAUS11, EDCAUS12, and Pacifico must be tracked as separate legal projects—and evaluated together where their infrastructure demands and impacts accumulate.

Content reviewed October 1, 2026 · Evidence dates appear with the records.

Claim status

An emerging cluster is an inference—with a traceable basis

The conclusion is based on the concentration, scale, timing, and addresses in four filed records. It is not proof that every project shares an owner, tenant, utility plan, or development agreement.

Project registry

Separate records, corrected identities

TDLR construction fields and the Comptroller's owner, operator, and occupant registrations are reported separately; unsupported affiliation claims are not carried forward.

CC-001Pending air registration · issuance paused

Pacifico Cedar Creek Generation Facility

A proposed 48-turbine natural-gas generation facility whose August air application states 1,326 MW of maximum nominal output. An earlier JETI filing described 710 MW of site-rated redundant power supporting approximately 490 MW of associated IT load; the differing capacity measures have not been reconciled in the released record.

TCEQ lists Registration 185019 / Project 413471 as pending, checked October 1, 2026. Its tracking table lists a deficiency cycle opened September 9 with no completion date shown. Governor Abbott’s September 21 directive pauses TCEQ permit issuance for data-center projects pending ERCOT’s review. The project has not been canceled, and the pause does not establish a restart date. Lost Pines Watch’s September 3 meeting account reports that Aqua’s September 1 vote moved Pacifico’s request into non-standard service agreement negotiations. A final executed agreement has not been verified. Aqua’s October 1 agenda index says September minutes await approval at the October board meeting.

Corridor watch · August 9

A deed index and preliminary financing report—kept separate from Pacifico

These are new Cedar Creek corridor signals, not evidence that Amazon or EdgeConneX is connected to Pacifico's proposed campus.

Official index entryInstrument 202613191 · Aug. 5

Amazon Data Services appears in a new deed index

Grantor: CTX Service Partners · acreage unresolved

The county real-property index says “SEE INSTRUMENT,” so the exact parcels and acreage cannot yet be stated. The entry may supplement or clean up Amazon's previously documented Creekside acquisition; it does not connect Amazon to Pacifico.

Early financing reportReported Aug. 4

EdgeConneX considers up to $4 billion in debt

Discussed—not committed or raised

Bloomberg reports early discussions about financing an EdgeConneX Cedar Creek data-center project. The report concerns the separate EdgeConneX corridor development, not Pacifico or Black Chamber.

New corridor records · July 29

CoreWeave is named—and a second EdgeConneX registration is active

These state registrations concern the existing FM 535 corridor, not Pacifico's proposed Cedar Creek campus. They sharpen the cumulative picture without merging separate legal projects.

Verified government recordEffective July 11, 2025

CoreWeave is the registered AUS02 occupant

Owner: DFW33220N · Operator: DFW33220N Operations 1

The Texas Comptroller's qualifying-large-data-center list supplies the occupant identity missing from the TDLR construction filing. Community Impact reports the $440 million building is expected to open in August; operation has not yet been independently confirmed.

Verified government program recordSeparate registration effective April 24, 2026

ECX AUS11-16 also enters the 20-year exemption program

Outside end customer still not publicly identified

The state lists EdgeConneX affiliates as owner, occupant, and operator for ECX AUS11-16. That is not proof that CoreWeave or any other outside customer occupies those buildings. The registration sits inside a statewide exemption program that Senate Finance is now reviewing as its projected cost grows.

Cumulative review

The questions no single filing answers

These workstreams define the regional dossier now being built.

01

Power

What is the combined operating load, backup-generation fleet, substation buildout, and transmission or pipeline infrastructure?

02

Water

What are the combined construction and operating demands, sources, treatment needs, and drought-year constraints?

03

Fire & emergency

What simultaneous incidents are plausible, who responds, and what staffing, apparatus, foam, fire-water, and mutual aid are available?

04

Roads & evacuation

How do construction traffic, heavy-haul routes, employee traffic, emergency access, and wildfire evacuation interact on the same road network?

05

Air & noise

What is the total permitted combustion inventory, including main generation, emergency engines, testing schedules, and continuous noise sources?

06

Land & ecology

What cumulative clearing, fragmentation, drainage change, lighting, and edge effects occur across the corridor rather than within one permit boundary?
