Shouldn’t the increase in property taxes from the construction of Datacenters be factored into the discussion of their viability in a local area
Assuming the state and local governments haven’t exempted the developers from property taxes as an incentive to build, their value only serves to generate high property taxes
In addition, if a government said datacenters must produce their own power or pay the local utility an amount to produce extra power to cover the data center without impacting local residents, wouldn’t tha alleviate a lot of the concerns

If done properly, the increased tax revenue from the data centers should free up the tax burden on local businesses. This allows those businesses to keep more of their own money and grow, producing more jobs locally.
But I am dreaming. The local elected scum will just find more ways to spend the money on pet projects.
