Earth Native Wilderness School

Please help us oppose the proposed Pacifico AI data center and natural-gas power plant in rural Cedar Creek adjacent to Earth Native's gorgeous wilderness campus!

Pacifico is proposing a massive industrial development on the large ranch directly beside Earth Native Wilderness School and near many homes, farms, and families. The project would include a 710-megawatt natural-gas power plant to serve the massive AI data center.

Pacifico is asking Bastrop ISD, Bastrop County, and the State of Texas for major property-tax incentives. Its own application states that the viability of the Bastrop County location depends on receiving these incentives.

That means our community has a real opportunity to influence whether this project is built HERE, but we need people to act now.

Earth Native has created a webpage with information about the project and simple steps you can take to contact the officials making these decisions:

Please visit the page, send the letters, and share it with others:

This is not about opposing technology or economic development. It is about whether taxpayers should subsidize a massive industrial project beside rural neighborhoods, farms, spring-fed creeks, and our wilderness school! Every call and email counts; together we CAN make a difference!
