Data Center development has been expanding at a breakneck pace in the US and abroad.  The demand that data centers place on power and water infrastructure can be considerable.  These demands put stress on the available systems and services for other users. Data center development requires careful consideration of the impact on local resources.  This is more than just being a good neighbor, it can be crucial to the long term sustainability and resiliency of the project which can impact uptime and overall viability.
