Ever since a new Bitcoin mining facility was proposed in Navarro County, some residents have been upset about the drain on local resources they say the operation would cause.
One email from John Boswell, Corsicana’s economic development director, surprised Sawicky. It included an estimate for how much water the facility would end up using. When it’s finished, it would consume about 1.4 million gallons of water per day, the email said.the figure was a very early estimate and that, while he doesn’t have the final number, the facility's demand for water will be significantly less.
People who oppose the project have reached out to city officials in Corsicana, who say they can't do anything about it because it’s outside of city limits in unincorporated Navarro County. So, according to council members and Boswell, this is out of the city’s hands. But they can still profit from it – indirectly from the potential economic growth, and directly by selling water.
