Why now
Why Utah, why now
Utah is one of the busiest data-center states in the country, with 8 sites from companies like Meta, O'Leary Digital / MIDA, Tract, Google. 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 0.4x as many new workers as Utah usually adds in a year.
