Crescent Club Meeting: Steven Pearce, The Pros & Cons of Data Centers

Topic: The Pros and Cons of Data Centers
Data centers are among the most talked-about economic development projects in North Carolina today. They can bring major investment, but they also raise questions for the communities that host them. Join us as Steven draws on his site selection experience to explore the pros and cons of these facilities, and what they could mean for communities like ours.
