Local Objections Stall 45 U.S. Data Center Projects Worth $68 Billion

Some 45 U.S. data center projects worth $68 billion, giant computer buildings, have been blocked or delayed by local objections, Bloomberg reported September 20. That count covers only projects already stopped or pushed back. A separate Kimmeridge forecast says up to half of proposed projects could be delayed or canceled. Developers and their lenders, the banks funding them, pay first.
