JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Says Data Centers Should Be Built “Where They’re Wanted”

Moneywise reports that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has weighed in on the growing backlash against data-center development, arguing that companies should build facilities in communities that actually want them. He also said large companies need to be “good community citizens” by engaging locally, making commitments, and addressing concerns such as electricity costs. The article places his comments in the broader context of public concern about utility costs, environmental impacts, and rapid data-center expansion.

This article is relevant to HorseCreekProject.org because it reflects a broader national discussion about where large data centers and the infrastructure needed to power them should be located, and how companies should engage with nearby communities before development advances. Dimon’s comments do not address the Horse Creek proposal specifically, and they do not establish any connection between the proposed Black Hills Energy project and a data center. They do, however, reinforce the idea that community acceptance, transparency, and commitments to limit local impacts have become important parts of the national conversation surrounding major data-center and energy projects.
