Regional Economic Impacts of Data Centers

On Wednesday, January 28th from 2:00-3:00pm ET, REMI will be hosting a webinar titled, “Regional Economic Impacts of Data Centers“. This webinar is being presented by Dominic Modicamore of DGA Economics and Shreeya Gurav from REMI. Click here to register now for this presentation.

Demand for data centers has increased dramatically alongside the rise of AI. These data centers have large implications for regional and state economies, generating construction activity, long-term employment, and infrastructure investment. Accurately measuring these effects is essential for planners, policymakers, utilities, and economic development professionals evaluating new or expanding facilities.

In this webinar, REMI economists will demonstrate how REMI PROSERIS can be used to quantify the economic impacts of data center projects, including effects on employment, GDP, income, population, and public revenues. Attendees will learn how to model both construction and operational phases, test alternative assumptions, and interpret results to support data-driven decision-making.
