Ty's Take
Copper Flat's been kicking around these conversations for years now, and the hearing this week is the same old dance: some folks see jobs and tax base, others see what a mine does to water in a county where water is already spoken for three times over before it hits the Rio Grande. The data center talk is interesting though, quieter than a copper operation but potentially steadier, and it fits better with the direction Spaceport's pulling us. Meanwhile, the real news getting less attention is that Tiger Stadium's got its running track back, which tells you something about priorities in a town like this. A sports facility means young people, families, reasons to stay or come home. That matters more than either of the other two some days.
