CURRENT PUBLIC SIGNAL

What we know now

Fermi America's Project Matador is planned north of Amarillo in Carson County, but current reporting shows material permitting, financing, and tenant uncertainty.

This is a working local record. Status reflects public announcements, filings, construction reports, and operating information available on the review date—not a guarantee that every proposed phase will be built.

State permit audit: Since September 21, 2026, TCEQ has paused data-center-related permit approvals while the ERCOT and Texas Water Development Board audits proceed. A filing, registration, or local approval does not establish that every required state authorization has been issued.
