The only jobs you get of any significance with a data center is the construction workers. Those places have hardly any employees.

Data centers could be an attractive land use for states that rely on property taxation for municipal revenues. Your town could get a large source of tax revenue on the books without any traffic, no burden on the local school system; etc.

Data Centers look better that Solar farms that have taken over the countryside in my area.

My county is wall to wall data centers. You can drive for a miles on some roads and see nothing but data centers on each side.

These data centers provide a very big tax base for the county.
