AUSTIN, Texas (KLTV) - Governor Greg Abbott announced a company seeking to build a data center near Cedar Creek Lake did "the right thing" by choosing to withdraw the proposal.

Diode Ventures notified Henderson County officials Wednesday it would be retracting the proposed data center build near Cedar Creek Reservoir.

In a Thursday release, Abbott said a directive published in June outlined clear expectations for proposed data centers, including respecting communities, reducing impacts and protecting water and electric resources.
