From the beginning, Build American AI has argued that America needs smart and balanced rules for artificial intelligence. That same principle applies to the infrastructure that powers AI. We can protect ratepayers, safeguard our natural resources, respect the right of communities to decide whether they want to welcome this investment, and still build the infrastructure America needs to lead the world in artificial intelligence. The continued build out of data centers and new energy infrastructure must benefit communities first and we will support leaders who advance policies that achieve that goal. States including Colorado, Georgia, and Texas, along with many others advanced by Governors across the political spectrum, are striking a strong and smart balance that should be replicated across the country.  Communities have legitimate questions about energy, water, land use, and costs. They deserve honest answers. We need moderate voices in the conversation to create and implement a transparent process with strong protections and real accountability. The stakes are too high to allow the loudest and most extreme voices to dictate America's future. Driving responsible investment away will cost Americans good-paying jobs, weaken communities and undermine America's ability to lead. Building the Future will support Republicans and Democrats who believe America can lead the world in AI while protecting families and empowering local communities. axios.com/2026/08/31/ai-advo…

Job opportunities in data centers. No tech background needed. Near New Carlisle, Indiana, 58 people completed AWS’s yearlong training program. Christian Loomis repairs servers; Rosalyne Swanson became an auditor.

"She's so much more relaxed. She sleeps better, enjoys life more, smiles more." AI helped Kristi Timmons hear clearly for the first time in a decade.

The data center hadn’t opened yet. Its land deal was already funding public safety. Botetourt County used proceeds from @Google’s land purchase to fund about $1.1 million in emergency response equipment serving three Virginia communities. The agreement also helped avoid borrowing and interest costs that taxpayers would otherwise have faced.

.@DinaPowellMcC, reveals what a school district Superintendent said to her after a data center helped bring $50,000 teacher bonuses to the district: "We’re a small town of 20,000. People were leaving to find work. I couldn't recruit teachers. Today, my phone is ringing off the hook. Every teacher in Louisiana is calling me to see if they can get a job in Richland Parish, so it's going to become the best school district in the state.

"Our kids have seen the benefits of data centers. They've seen their schools dramatically improve, our programs improve. Prior to 2019, we barely had a choir or band program." A superintendent explains how a data center transformed Quincy, Washington:

We are going to win. @BuildAmericanAI presents: The New Industrial Age Forum.

Great event. Glad I could play a small part in bringing builders and innovators to DC to tell some stories from the frontier.

Proud to have @BuildAmericanAI as a partner and sponsor on the New Industrial Age Forum! It was a great event and we appreciate everyone’s support.

Loved this event. Let’s build the future.

I am so proud of this project. Last week was awesome. Cannot wait to do more like it.

an incredible event with AI and industrial builders, policy leaders, and more. Was inspiring to attend. Can’t wait for the next!

Small Ohio manufacturers can buy access to the Ohio Supercomputer Center's computing resources without owning comparable hardware themselves. Our Ohio report looks at how shared infrastructure can put better tools within reach of smaller businesses. buildamericanai.org/reports/…

San Jose reports bus speeds rose 20% after expanding AI traffic-signal priority citywide. More cities should measure AI by what benefits happen in people's day to day lives. sjmayormatt.com/news-room/sj…

Denton, Texas' data centers have paid more than $3.1M in property taxes to the city, Denton ISD and Denton County, $475,000 in sales tax, more than $8.8M in franchise fees and more than $2M in lease revenue. keranews.org/news/2026-09-03…

Meta's DeKalb, Illinois data center was billed $31.1M in property taxes for 2025. 60.9% of that goes to DeKalb School District 428. The mayor credits Meta’s property-tax revenue with helping make Mitchell Elementary possible. shawlocal.com/news/2026/05/0…

Energy abundance. @isaiah_p_taylor @ChrisBarnardDL @leviwyattp New Industrial Age Forum Sept. 16, 2026 Washington DC

Yesterday we collaborated with @newindustrials to host the New Industrial Age Forum. The future of American exceptionalism will be led by young entrepreneurs building startups and solving problems that previous generations thought were not possible.

Applied Digital told North Dakota lawmakers that Ellendale’s sales-tax collections reached $4.5M in the first eight months of 2026, compared with about $350,000 a year before the data center buildout. Applied Digital expects to be the largest single taxpayer in North Dakota by 2029. inforum.com/opinion/columns/…
