NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka released the following statement regarding today’s announcement of a statewide data center play by Gov. Mikie Sherrill.
"NJBIA appreciates the Sherrill administration proactively addressing the opportunity for data center development in New Jersey. This is a signal that this growing and critical industry is welcome in the Garden State.
"Like all development, opportunities and challenges are presented, and getting the right balance to move projects forward is significant. The Governor's parameters and expectancy of transparency are some first steps in establishing a process to get the ball rolling. Details on how these parameters are more deeply defined are yet to come.
"NJBIA has also been studying the opportunities and potential challenges that data centers can bring to New Jersey as part of a future report, and we look forward to sharing that data with the administration and the public in the short-term."
