Yeah, South central Ohio is getting a data center. Lots’a jobs they say. Lots’a this and lots’a that. But no housing...

I think that Everywhere, USA is getting a data center. I know of several within an hour’s drive from my home. Our little town is growing fast…too fast. We used to not ever have traffic. Now there is. Twice a day, like bigger places.

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.
