2 thoughts on “State’s big, bold LEAP District play draws some reflection

    1. Great question. Data centers employ very few people and typically benefit from special legislation that means they pay little to nothing in taxes. They are also electricity hogs. And they don’t generate any real spinoff development. What’s more, per recent reporting from the Wall Street Journal, a lot of the construction workers building them are actually traveling labor, not necessarily locals. 1,430 acres going to Meta/Facebook data centers doesn’t sound like high value economic development to me.

      We need a megasite like LEAP to be competitive for major advanced manufacturing projects, but if we end up filling it with data centers, it will be an opportunity missed.
