Why now
Why New York, why now
New York is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 21 sites from companies like TeraWulf, DataBank, Sabey Data Centers, Stream Data Centers. 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 4.3x as many new workers as New York usually adds in a year.
