“Are data centres a benefit or a burden”? Community impact vs. National demand

What are the positive and negative effects of data centres on local communities?
Are data centres enriching local communities or they primarily serving national and corporate interests?
Are operators doing enough to engage local communities or are they ticking boxes to meet regulatory requirements?
Where do the genuine concerns come from and how can they be mitigated?
Are sustainability measures enough to change public perception?
How do we educate and respond to general concerns?
