Why now
Why New Jersey, why now
New Jersey is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 5 sites from companies like CoreWeave, Nebius, CoreSite (American Tower), Equinix. 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 0x as many new workers as New Jersey usually adds in a year.
