Jared Navarre and Tracey Hyatt Bosman are no strangers to data centers.
Both have worked on numerous development deals and site selections regarding server farms and internet infrastructure.
For the most part, past data centers were not controversial.
Data centers have been housed in fairly anonymous industrial parks and warehouses. They have historically served as backbones of broadband systems and digital access.
Navarre has worked on both sides of the data center street, advising developers, technology firms and local governments.
Times have changed.
“Now, it’s pitchforks,” said Hyatt Bosman, managing director of Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Co., one of the country’s largest site selection firms.
“The data centers have gotten bigger — like, a lot bigger. They make more of a commotion when they are built,” she said.
That commotion is stirring scrutiny and opposition to scores of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers being proposed across the country.
An estimated 3,000 new data centers are being proposed across the United States, spurred by massive capital expenditures to accommodate large-scale AI expansions.
Tracey Hyatt Bosman develops and executes incentives and location selection strategies for BLS & Co.'s corporate and institutional clients. She is a certified economic developer with twenty years of professional experience across a wide range of sectors, including data centers, manufacturing, headquarters, back office and contact center operations, and logistics.
