đź’¨ Abstract
The article discusses the potential impact of data center construction on infrastructure projects. In 2025, state and local governments issued a record amount of debt for infrastructure, but private spending on data centers, at over $41 billion annually, may compete for the same resources. This competition is exacerbated by labor shortages due to retirements and immigration policies. Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk, warns that data center construction could slow down other infrastructure projects.
