    by Michael Bommarito (Author)

    A data center just got announced in your community. Now what?

    The developer has lawyers, lobbyists, and consultants who have done this dozens of times. Your township has a part-time planner. That imbalance is not an accident. It is the business model. This book closes the gap.

    Fighting doesn't always mean stopping the project. It means getting a fair deal - real tax revenue instead of giveaways, enforceable noise and water limits, jobs commitments with teeth, and a bond so the community isn't stuck with an empty building in twenty years.

    It starts with what you need to know right now - what data centers actually use, how the deals get made, and how to spot the gaps in the promises. Then it walks you through every tool available: zoning and moratoria at city hall, rate cases at the statehouse, environmental permits in Washington, property claims in court, and community benefit agreements at the negotiating table. Appendices include sample letters, a negotiation checklist, and a directory of organizations that can help.

    Across the country, communities that organized have won better deals, blocked bad ones, and changed the rules for next time. You are not starting from zero. Your next planning board meeting is a few weeks away. This book gets you ready.
