Thank you to the Longview Chamber of Commerce for hosting this year’s Infrastructure Summit and for inviting our President, Stan Hayes, P.E., to serve on the panel discussing one of the region’s most important topics: the future of data centers and the infrastructure needed to support them.
With more than 30 years serving on the consultant team for the Region D Regional Water Planning Group, Stan brought a unique perspective to the conversation, sharing insights on East Texas’ water supplies, projected demands, and the importance of long-term planning as our region continues to grow.
As conversations around artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data centers continue, thoughtful planning for critical infrastructure—including water resources—will play a vital role in ensuring sustainable growth for generations to come.
We appreciate the Longview Chamber for bringing together business and community leaders to have informed, forward-looking discussions about the future of East Texas. We’re honored to be part of the conversation.
