How data centers are transforming local communities
Briefly

Recent discussions around data centers reveal their underestimated local impact, from boosting community property values—seen through the excitement for local businesses like Trader Joe's— to creating jobs and facilitating urban revitalization. The industry, now on a green energy transition journey, addresses past criticisms through advancements in design and sustainability. With 5,400 data centers in the U.S. and infrastructure developments expected to grow, their role is crucial as the digital backbone of the economy and support for AI.
In fact, our company gets 100% of its electricity from zero-carbon renewable energy. To cool equipment, we leverage a closed-loop system that uses little or no outside water.
Data centers are pivotal in the transition to green energy. This is part of a broader sustainability push as the industry aims to shrink its environmental footprint.
