According to Tracey Hyatt Bosman, Managing Director of Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Company, “risk calculus” is another major factor for location consideration.
“The industry’s risk calculus has shifted,” Bosman said. “A decade ago, developers focused heavily on natural disaster exposure, avoiding flight paths, and physical security concerns. Today, power availability, interconnection timelines, zoning constraints, and community sentiment are far more likely to govern site viability.”
Data centers have become the subject of increased public and political scrutiny.
“Data center projects have become highly visible developments that often trigger broader debates about grid reliability, utility costs, environmental impacts, and quality-of-life considerations,” Bosman said. “As facilities expand into new markets and closer proximity to population centers, communities are demonstrating a greater willingness to challenge projects perceived as infrastructure-intensive or visually disruptive.”
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.
