Info request from people who live in a community impacted by large data centers constructed in your community. Are any of the promised benefits paying off?

Out of curiosity how many jobs were promised and for what types of positions? Were they meant to be short-term jobs for construction of the facility, or long-term jobs for the ongoing maintenance and operations? I’ve been trying to follow the pros and cons of these giant data centers springing up everywhere. Are the communities also promised lower energy rates because the data center will generate new electricity? It is interesting to hear from people in communities being affected versus what is announced in press releases and news articles. Also, are data center owners providing any other community benefits such as training for new job experiences or funding education programs?
