Abilene News Digest - March 11, 2026

Hey there! So, yesterday was quite the day in Abilene. Oracle made headlines by refuting some negative media reports about their data center in town. They claimed there was a "fundamental misunderstanding" and insisted that the reports were inaccurate. It's always a little unsettling when big companies get wrapped up in controversy, especially when it involves our local economy. Hopefully, this will clear things up and reassure folks about the positive impact Oracle can have here.

It’s set to feature six restaurants and eight retail stores, which could really spice up our local dining and shopping options. The Board of Adjustments met this week to review the plans, and it looks like we might have some new favorites to check out soon. Just imagine grabbing a bite with friends after a little retail therapy – sounds perfect, right?

Hey there, neighbor! I hope you’re doing well. Yesterday was quite eventful in and around Abilene. The Haskell County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning about some sneaky scammers who’ve been trying to pull a fast one on residents. They’re posing as officers, like a lieutenant or sergeant, which is just downright deceptive. It’s a good reminder for all of us to keep our guard up and verify who we’re talking to, especially when it comes to those unexpected calls or messages.
