JLARC’s independent analysis estimated 74,000 total jobs based on average industry spending from FY2021–FY2023. It cautions that most economic benefits come from construction, while a typical 250,000-square-foot operating facility may have about 50 full-time workers.

Loudoun says data centers generate almost half of county property-tax revenues. That local figure should not be projected onto every DMV jurisdiction; market maturity, tax rates, facility scale and public agreements differ.
