Show Notes
West Virginias data economy is booming, with a surge in interest for high-impact data centers, thanks to House Bill two thousand fourteen. These centers can build their own power supplies and bypass local rules, attracting big tech companies. However, locals and leaders are pushing back, emphasizing the need for community input and transparency. Projects like Ridgeline and QTSs campus are already in motion, promising to listen, hire locally, and blend in. The state is navigating a tightrope between economic gains and community involvement in these game-changing builds.
