Overview

AGC’s Data Center team has developed a set of talking points to help chapters, members, and stakeholders better understand the role of data center construction in today’s economy. These materials highlight the economic impact of projects, including job creation, supply chain activity, and local tax contributions, while also addressing common questions related to siting, community impacts, and project design.

This is an evolving resource intended to support informed conversations with policymakers, media, and the public. It brings together data, real-world examples, and industry insight to provide a clear, fact-based perspective on data center development.
