LOCAL HELP

Support for demand-intensive projects.

Facts, testimony, and direct help for communities facing organized opposition

When data centers come to town, the loudest voices are often the least informed. Local officials are pressured with fear-based claims about power, water, noise, and “industrial takeover,” usually backed by shaky evidence and louder rhetoric.

The Capacity Project provides local, factual, decision-ready support to help communities navigate these fights with clarity instead of chaos.

reframe the debate

Targeted support, expert guidance.

We help replace misinformation with clarity and equip decision-makers with materials that hold up in public, in writing, and under scrutiny.

Local Briefings

Short, clear memos tailored to your community that explain power use, water impacts, noise, zoning, and cost responsibility in plain language for local officials and residents.

Testimony

Written testimony, talking points, and meeting materials that work in hearings and can be entered into the public record without falling apart under questioning.

Research

Local and regional research that grounds discussions in real data, existing studies, and verifiable facts, not generic national claims or worst-case assumptions.

Local Media

Editorials, press kits, and media-ready materials that help local reporters and outlets accurately cover data centers and their local impacts.

Social Kits

Clear, shareable graphics, short videos, and explainers built for local audiences to understand the issue without distortion or hype.

Direct Guidance

Strategy calls and draft review to help with timing, tone, and sequencing, and to anticipate common questions before they arise.
