If you’ve caught the evening news lately or scrolled through social media, you’ve probably noticed a data center debate sweeping the nation.
Opposition to data centers has risen in some areas, while others have embraced the industry as a major taxpayer.
On Thursday, October 1, Pacific Legal Foundation is hosting Data Centers: Fact v. Fiction, a virtual deep-dive into the good, bad, and ugly sides of data center developments.
Our panelists will outline the constitutional questions at play whenever governments wield their power to either block or fast-track new projects—and cover the practical concerns that some have shared regarding the noise data centers generate and the water and electricity they consume.
You’ll hear firsthand from elected officials about what it’s like to live and serve in these communities, alongside attorneys and policy professionals who have confronted similar challenges in courtrooms and state capitals across the country. You’ll also learn about the crucial role of property rights in guiding where and how data centers are built.
Note: All registrants will receive a recording of the discussion, so feel free to RSVP even if you can’t make it live.
