Air quality concerns are rising on the West Side due to a data center company's plan to operate diesel generators. Data centers, which store important information like hospital and financial data, are becoming more common in Texas.

There are hundreds of data centers built or proposed across the state, with 31 currently in operation. The West Side, particularly Westover Hills, is home to several data centers run by multiple companies, including Vantage Data Centers.

Further details about the proposal and its potential impact on air quality are available from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which held a public hearing in May.
