Arizona may be one of the most exposed states in the country to the negative impacts of excessive data center development.
These are babies who were brought to Arizona when they were little children, who are now firefighters and teachers and small business owners.
We created this unit last year because families across Arizona have been waiting years, sometimes decades for answers that they deserve.
