The conversation around data centers at the Lake got heated fast. But behind the headlines, something bigger is happening.
In this episode of Take On The Lake, I sit down with entrepreneur and local developer James Rericha. And midway through the episode James revealed something: he’s part of a team that’s helping rewrite the code on how data centers are regulated in Camden County.
James also was directly affected by how the whole “Data Center” and “Opportunity Zone” conversations got married… we get into that too.
Among the many topics:
- How new data center rules are actually being written
- The difference between data centers and opportunity zones
- What’s been misunderstood—and what hasn’t
- The real tradeoffs around growth, taxes, and development
