DATA CENTERS IN THE NEWS

As most of you know, on June 15th C_TEC released a report (https://t.e2ma.net/click/nn1n2c/r2f0ql/fd44mo) that examined the economic benefits of data centers to local communities. Since its release, this report has been cited by several articles including the Washington Post:

"Though data centers require few employees, they can inject millions into the local economy, according to a recent report from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."
