Connecting Local Businesses and Local Talent to Data Center Opportunities
Douglas County is quickly emerging as a regional hub for data center investment — bringing billions in capital investment, new construction activity, and opportunities for local businesses and workers.
The Douglas County Data Center Ecosystem Collaborative bridges the gap between general contractors (GCs) building these major facilities and the Douglas County small businesses and skilled workers ready to support them.
