What’s at stake as Prince George’s County ponders data centers?

A report from a Baltimore policy consulting firm argues data centers would be worth it for a cash-strapped Prince George’s County government.

Two big issues facing elected leaders in Prince George’s County, Maryland, next year will be the county’s budget and the future of data centers.

With the county facing a more than $90 million budget gap, and the state’s own budget woes likely to mean more burdens shifting onto counties, a study issued by Baltimore-based Sage Policy Group said the construction of data centers could help alleviate some of that financial stress.
