These places then bend over backwards to offer tax incentives, fast permitting, etc. with no regard to whether their location can actually support the building.
So of course they get built in the most corrupt places.

Yeah, chances are Jim Bob and Jolene aren’t going to get an entry level job at a data center. They don’t need many janitors or lunch ladies.

Yep most local governments will give tens of millions away for “local jobs” even if there’s only like 3 local jobs.
Could literally just hand those 3 people 4 million each, and save the headache.
