The Co-CEOs welcomed Governor Abbott's leadership and expressed the company's willingness to work with him to establish clear guardrails for the industry and help ensure all providers operate with a commitment to transparency, accountability and responsible growth.

QTS looks forward to working with state and local leaders, utility partners and community stakeholders to support responsible growth that strengthens Texas communities and reinforces the state's leadership in the digital economy. The company aims to be a responsible neighbor that listens, invests in local priorities and supports sustainable growth for families and businesses.
