Impact analysis
It could save taxpayers from footing the bill for infrastructure upgrades, but might also slow down some big tech investment dollars in the area.
Local residents and utility customers win by avoiding potential water shortages and rolling blackouts caused by power-hungry servers.
Tech developers and landowners looking to cash in on the data center boom are definitely going to feel squeezed.
