The data-center buildout, from the public record.
96 projects across 16 states this year - rezonings, tax abatements, substation deals, and easements - surfaced from primary municipal records, often months before the announcement. Plus the moratoria and zoning crackdowns now forming around them.
Sourced by the person who built the system.
Darius Tajanko, original architect of the Legistar municipal legislative system (1996-2014) - so the data is primary-source and normalized, not scraped headlines.
This year's data-center decisions, by state
A snapshot. The full set carries the source, date, operator, size, stage, and the recorded vote on every item.
Also tracked this year: Missouri, Ohio, Florida, Minnesota, North Carolina, Colorado, Alabama, Wyoming, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada, and Virginia.
The leading indicator, not the lagging one
Primary source, with the attachments
The substance lives in the staff report, the ordinance, the development agreement - not the one-line agenda title. GovData reads the full text of items and their attachments, across 11,610 jurisdictions.
Normalized and timestamped
Inconsistent naming ("Project Jade," "PHX065," "confidential applicant") resolved into comparable records, each carrying when the decision happened - backtestable over two decades.
Both sides of the deal
The same record shows the buildout and the resistance to it - moratoria and new zoning ordinances diffusing city to city - so you can route around the markets about to tighten.
