Why now
Why Nebraska, why now
Nebraska is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 5 sites from companies like Google, Meta. The work is steady, it lasts for years, and there are not enough local workers for it.
The trades needed most here: electricians, carpenters, ironworkers. For electricians, the data centers alone need 0.7x as many new workers as Nebraska usually adds in a year.
