Former U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema recently made headlines when she went to a Chandler City Council meeting to promote a proposed data center there.
Sinema co-chairs the advisory board for the AI Infrastructure Coalition. The group works with the federal government on artificial intelligence policy.
“We see this as a national security imperative as well as a domestic economic imperative,” she said.
So at a City Council meeting last month, she spoke in favor of the data center project, saying her coalition is working “hand in glove with the Trump Administration” on AI initiatives.
She thinks Chandler residents will support the Price Corridor development.
“I expect that we'll see them continue that by embracing the new development of AI, not just these AI centers, these AI energy hubs, but the companies that come with them,” she said.
Tucson residents recently pushed its own city council to vote down the Project Blue data center development.
Chandler City Council is expected to vote on the Active Infrastructure project at its December meeting.
