Understand the Economic Implications of Data Centers

Data center development is accelerating across the United States, creating new opportunities and new questions for communities competing for investment. While these projects can bring substantial capital investment, tax revenue, and economic activity, their broader effects on employment, energy demand, local industries, and regional growth can be more difficult to assess. 

Join Golden Shovel Agency and Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI) for a webinar that demonstrates how dynamic economic modeling can help economic development professionals evaluate the full economic implications of data center projects on a region. Using REMI’s analysis tools, the presentation will:

  • Explore Impacts on employment, gross regional product, personal income, industry output, population, tax revenues, and other key indicators;
  • Consider factors such as construction activity, ongoing operations, and electricity demand; and
  • Demonstrate how communities can use economic impact analysis to compare development scenarios, communicate potential benefits and tradeoffs to stakeholders, and provide decision-makers with a more complete picture of what a proposed data center could mean for their community.

Who is this for:

Economic development professionals who want to better understand the impact of data centers in their community.

Date:

Thursday, September 24

Time:
