NYI COO Phillip Koblence is back from last week’s dynamic Green Building Initiative (GBI)'s seminar in Dallas, TX (May 5-6) where he was honored to moderate the closing panel “More Than Megawatts: Community-Centered Approaches to Data Center Development” which brought together leaders in digital infrastructure sustainability and community engagement to discuss challenges, insights and suggestions on how to build community trust and partnership.
Phillip also participated in an executive roundtable which explored related topics such as challenges around power availability, regulatory policy and the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration to support community needs.
