Why now
Why Tennessee, why now
Tennessee is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 10 sites from companies like xAI, Meta, Google, DC BLOX. The work is steady, it lasts for years, and there are not enough local workers for it.
The trades needed most here: electricians, hvac/r technicians, carpenters. For electricians, the data centers alone need 0x as many new workers as Tennessee usually adds in a year.
