Data center development activity is picking up in Colorado cities like Aurora and Colorado Springs as supply constraints and macroeconomic conditions push developers away from primary markets like Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley.  The activity represents an about-face for data center developers, who seemed to  avoid Colorado  earlier in the pandemic because it lacked state-level incentives for these projects. Now developers are rethinking that stance as tech behemoths like Microsoft and federal agencies like the Department of Defense expand their data center operations in Colorado, drawn by the amount of available land and power.
