A directive by the governor has exempted a planned data center in Nueces County from requiring an audit. The data center is being developed by Hut 8.

The project is sizable, spanning 525 acres. Details about the exemption and the project are available from the Galveston County Daily News.

Further information about the data center and the governor's directive can be found in the original report, which provides more context about the exemption and the project's development.
