The University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service has released a multi-year report on data centers in the Great Lakes region, examining the economic and energy implications of data centers across the region – including in Ohio and Michigan.
Data centers are controversial in many communities: though they are critical infrastructure to cloud-based technologies and artificial intelligence, some have expressed a resistance to having them built in their communities, citing possible increases in electricity bills and environmental concerns. Others welcome data centers, hoping they will bring with them new jobs.
