Emily Crawford, the Abilene City Manager, answers 20 Rapid Fire Questions and then gets down into the nitty gritty. If you've wanted to know the 

-projected growth of Abilene over the next ten years, 

-how many temporary workers and permanent workers the data center is projected to employ, 

-how much water the data center uses on the daily, monthly, and annually (hint: it may blow your mind, in a good way), 

-how the City is looking at using the $21 million in 'surplus' sales tax it received this year, 

-how it receives potentially $50 million over the next two years and then $4 million annually for the next 8 years. 

This is one of my favorite episodes because she doesn't dodge any question, she answers with facts and in ways easily understood. 

This is a must listen for Abilene residents, for Big Country residents, and really for anyone that is interested in hearing how a data center impacts a community.
