As demand accelerates data center development, community scrutiny is rising just as fast. Power availability, zoning approvals, water usage, tax incentives, and grid upgrades are no longer behind-the-scenes issues; they are public conversations that can directly impact project timelines and costs.

As a follow-up from our community engagement event last December, we found a clear need for practical steps in engaging communities. This time, we’re taking the conversation a step further. Join Senior Vice President, Christian Rizzo and Executive Vice President, Britni Ackrivo of Gregory, a top 40 public relations firm, for this Lunch & Learn as we explore how proactive stakeholder engagement and strategic communications can help teams anticipate concerns, align messaging with municipalities and utilities, and position projects as long-term community assets. Walk away with practical approaches to reduce permitting friction, protect project timelines, and strengthen credibility in competitive growth markets.
