Residents say broken elevator leaves seniors stranded at Acres Homes apartment complex

Summary by The Woodlands Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Leslie.DelasBour@fox.com (Leslie DelasBour), Fox 26 Houston · July 21, 2026 · 1 min read

Residents at a senior apartment complex in Houston's Acres Homes neighborhood say they're frustrated after one of the building's elevators has remained out of service for nearly two weeks.

Why this matters in The Woodlands

The Woodlands, with its growing commercial hubs like Town Center and The Woodlands Mall, could potentially see an influx of data centers in the coming years. As the Electric Reliability Council of Texas considers a new evaluation process for adding these projects to the grid, local residents and businesses should pay close attention to the outcome. The decision to study "Batch Zero" data centers could have significant implications for the area's energy infrastructure and overall development. With the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and other major venues driving demand for reliable power, it's crucial that ERCOT's process prioritizes feasibility and grid stability. As The Woodlands continues to attract new businesses and residents, its energy needs will only continue to grow, making ERCOT's decision a key factor in the community's long-term growth and sustainability.
