BEHIND THE CLOUD | Economic & Legal Frameworks

Part 4 of a 5-part, web-based learning series designed to help communities understand the impacts of hyperscale data center development, evaluate data center proposals with confidence, protect ratepayers, and negotiate fairer deals. These direct, practical sessions are designed for non-technical city leadership, sustainability teams, economic development offices, and staff from across city departments.

Data center proposals often promise billions in investment, but the math can feel murky and opaque. Learn how to make decisions grounded in evidence, not hype.

Session 4 explains how to assess tax impacts, subsidies, and long-term revenue.
