Data Centers employ 1-2 people per megawatt of power capacity. Most employment happens during the building phase. The water/power they consume from the community never ends.
Aaron RuparHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
