Community Opposition Is Narrowing Data Center Site Searches

Many other municipalities and counties, especially small ones in Michigan and Indiana, already have imposed their own temporary pauses. Denver and Detroit are among major cities considering such bans.

Data-center developers are growing increasingly wary of community and political opposition as they hunt for powered land across the country. Proposed local laws restricting data centers are “a red flag,” said Tracey Hyatt Bosman, a site selection consultant at BLS & Co. who works with data-center developers. “They do limit where we are looking,” she said.
