Proposed East Texas data center ends project, admitting they fell short of the standards I have set.

Data centers must:

✅ Pay their own way
✅ Bring their own power
✅ Reuse their own water
✅ Reduce electricity costs for Texans
✅ Protect Texas neighborhoods

Texans come first.

We were honored to celebrate one of our incredible Chamber members, Blue Mint Thai, as they were recognized for their extraordinary commitment to supporting our nation's service members and veterans.

As a proud veteran-owned business, Mike Wilson and Alisa Dodenhoff have built more than a successful restaurant—they've created a culture of service that continues long after their military careers. Their dedication was recognized through the Pro Patria Award, Patriot Award, Above and Beyond Award, and as a National Top 3 Finalist for the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.

Congratulations to Mike, Alisa, and the entire Blue Mint Thai team on these well-deserved honors. We are incredibly proud to have veteran-owned businesses like Blue Mint Thai serving our community with excellence, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to those who have served.
