The pace of data center development is accelerating in the US and in the Great Lakes, and there are emerging lessons to be learned. During this webinar, The Joyce Foundation and Fresh Coast Climate Solutions shared case studies and some emerging better practices regarding data center development, legislation, and technology. We also explored how sustainability frameworks are beginning to be established to help maximize the economic benefits of data centers, while simultaneously minimizing environmental, social, and financial costs.

The emerging better practices were shared by Josh Brugeman, Co-Founder, and Paul Gruber, Program & Engagement Lead, at Fresh Coast Climate Solutions, a sustainability consulting firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan that focuses on helping clients establish and achieve climate, water+nature, and sustainability solutions.
