NEWS: So far this year, over $260B in data center projects have hit the chopping block.

Roughly half of those investments got the axe between July and September.  Cancellations over that period surpassed the dollar total for all of last year, according to Heatmap Pro data. 

Why? Most cancellations tracked by Heatmap result from failure to obtain local permits or “hostile local government action.” And community pushback keeps growing: As of August, 75% of Americans opposed new data centers in their area, Heatmap found.
