Grimes County Has No Land-Use Plan. That's Every Developer's Problem Now.

ERCOT's 24 GW forecast doesn't count the private gas plants Pacifico, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Diamondback are already building off-grid, so actual demand is already outrunning every public projection. Developers who aren't arriving in Grimes County with water data, noise studies, and benefit-sharing proposals aren't just losing community fights; they're accumulating the political debt that kills ERCOT interconnection later.
