Poll: Local governments should be cautious about data center approvals
American voters believe local governments should be cautious about approving new data centers due to concerns about electricity, water, land, and infrastructure strain.
The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll found 62% of voters favor caution, while 24% support encouraging data centers for jobs and tax revenue.
Mike Noble stated voters think the negatives of data centers outweigh the benefits despite their role in the digital economy.
A Marquette Law School poll showed 69% of voters see the costs of data centers as greater than the benefits.
