We’re proud to announce that Patmos was featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.
In the article titled, “The AI Data-Center Boom Is a Job-Creation Bust,” our CEO, John Johnson, shared our innovative and community-focused approach to building data centers. Unlike the conventional models critiqued in the article, Patmos is pioneering a method that reimagines data centers not as energy-draining monuments, but as powerful engines of community development. Our vision transforms these facilities into catalysts for urban renewal, generating hundreds of quality jobs and boosting local economies.
In his follow-up comments on LinkedIn, John stated:
“We need to rethink the way data centers are built and operated. Why build a rural concrete tombstone that sucks critical power and provides few long-term human jobs when you can harvest the economic power of a data center to create a thriving ecosystem of tech serving humans? Data centers built with the common good in mind can revitalize urban renewal zones, provide hundreds of great jobs, and generate abundant revenue windfalls to communities. It’s time to think more integrally about the data center. That’s exactly what Patmos is doing in Kansas City.”
