AI 'man camps' offer golf, free steaks to lure workers in Texas

The rapid expansion of AI data centers into rural US areas has led to a boom in "man camps"—temporary housing villages—to accommodate the influx of construction workers. Companies like Target Hospitality and Civeo are providing amenities such as free food and entertainment to attract skilled tradespeople to remote sites. This trend supports major projects from developers including Galaxy Digital, Meta, and Amazon, impacting local economies and infrastructure.
