Data Center Economic Impact Studies
How We Help
Data center investments are among the largest capital projects in the country, generating thousands of construction jobs, significant ongoing employment, and substantial tax revenue for host communities. Whether you are a hyperscale operator seeking zoning approval, a developer applying for tax incentives, or a local government evaluating a proposed project, an economic impact study provides the credible, independent data that decision-makers need.
We work with operators, developers, utilities, and government agencies on site-specific and portfolio-level studies. Our analysis covers both the construction phase and long-term operations, with detailed breakdowns by tax type and government jurisdiction, built to support public hearings, incentive applications, and stakeholder communication.
