In case you missed it, this was the Data Center Community Panel from the 2026 Economic Summit.

Mayor Tom Thompson was joined by Jeremiah Collins, Senior Vice President of Energy Acquisition for Merchant Data Centers; Mike Coleman, Chief Technical Officer for Emergent; and Chris Sumter, CEO of Emergent Data Centers.

The discussion covered water usage, grid capacity, noise levels, workforce demand, capital investment, and long-term property valuation impact.

This wasn’t hype. It’s how projects like this work and what they mean for San Angelo.
