Regional development official notes surge in data center inquiries

A regional economic development official, Michael McGiffin of Lake to River, warned local leaders in Trumbull County, Ohio, about a surge in data center inquiries and potential changes to the development landscape over the next decade. He highlighted the importance of communities engaging with data center developers now, as future incentives may diminish and moratoriums could negatively impact investment. McGiffin advised against moratoriums, citing negative impacts on projects in other communities.
