Castle Rock, Colo.-based Riot Blockchain said it's building the largest Bitcoin mining facility in the world in Corsicana. But it's encountering pushback from...

, leading some to wonder if this was in preparation for Riot and if they’d have to foot the bill. However, the city says Riot will get its water from Navarro Mills Lake, which is 97.1% full, and not from Halbert Lake, which is 88% full. During a June 7 economic development meeting, Corsicana city officials said there is enough water for Riot without needing to upgrade the system.

One thing neighbors shouldn’t have to worry about once the facility is constructed is the noise. Riot is using an immersive cooling system in which its computers live in a mineral oil substance, which means neighbors shouldn’t hear anything. Riot says the first phase of construction, which could cause some noise, is projected to last 365 days.

While the facility is in Corsicana, it’s in an unincorporated area, meaning the city and its residents have no say in how the land is used, said John Boswell, economic development director for Corsicana and Navarro County.
