What happens if one comes to my town?

What this experience shows

1. A project arrives

   The town changes before the building opens.

   Land, construction, roads, power, and water enter the conversation first.

   Physical focus: Your community

2. After construction

   The activity changes shape.

   Construction work recedes. The permanent facility, infrastructure, taxes, and operating jobs remain.

   Physical focus: Data center

3. Touch what changes

   Each object holds a public question.

   Power: who pays? Water: what source? Jobs: how many remain? Taxes: what incentives were granted?

   Physical focus: Your community

Evidence connected to this pathway

1. local / Georgia

   Georgia's large-load rule permits longer contracts and minimum billing for new customers above 100 MW and requires regulator review of covered contracts.

   The design is meant to reduce the risk that infrastructure is built for a customer that later leaves or uses less power than forecast.

2. local / Virginia

   Virginia created a separate GS-5 class for qualifying large loads, with a 14-year service obligation and minimum monthly transmission and distribution charges set at 85% of contracted levels.

   Separate classification is intended to recover the distinct cost of serving hyperscale loads and reduce cost shifting.
