STATE CASE STUDY SERIES

The Grounded Vitals State Case Study Series examines how large-scale data center development is affecting communities across the United States.

Rather than focusing on speculation or political rhetoric, this series evaluates:

• Publicly available data

• Government audits

• Legislative reviews

• Infrastructure reports

• Environmental findings

• Community experiences

The purpose is to help communities, local leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, landowners, and families better understand both the opportunities and challenges associated with rapid technological infrastructure growth.

Each case study follows the same structure to allow readers to compare experiences across different states and regions.
