Data centers are critical infrastructure for the modern economy, supporting everything from small businesses and hospitals to advanced manufacturing and emerging technologies. This report examines the economic impact of a mid-sized data center on a local community and finds that a typical 50-megawatt facility creates thousands of jobs, generates significant tax revenue, and drives long-term economic growth.

Once operational, a mid-sized data center supports approximately 740 local careers over a typical 20-year operating period, keeps approximately 750 additional individuals engaged in the labor force, generates $175 million in economic activity annually, and contributes $125 million in income for local workers and families each year.
