Willie Nelson, the country music singer, has voiced opposition to a proposed data center in his hometown of Luckenbach, Texas. The project would be built to support regional cloud services.
Nelson said a data center in the area would be loud, water‑intensive and could cause light pollution for the community. He urged local officials to reconsider the proposal.
The technology firm behind the plan has not yet received any permits, and local authorities have not issued a public response. No construction timeline has been announced.
The debate over the facility remains ongoing, with no decision reported as of July 29, 2026.
