Beyond the Code: Why Data Center Growth Must Serve the Community First

The data center tour was truly eye-opening and deeply concerning. What happened to this community underscores the importance of awareness and education. When residents don’t have access to information, decisions get made for them, not with them.

As we look ahead, it’s critical that future data center projects come with clear community benefit agreements and programs. Growth should never come at the community’s expense, it should serve the people first, not just the data centers.

Let’s keep learning, asking questions, and making sure progress and people grow together. 🌺
