New Free Platform Helps Americans Organize Around Proposed AI Data Centers Near Their Homes

Residents can organize their communities, track nearby data center development and research where local politicians stand

NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Architect Digital today launched a free platform that lets residents look up proposed AI data centers near their homes, register their view and organize their community. Residents enter a ZIP code to find nearby projects and see how their community feels. Architect Digital tracks local community sentiment toward data center development on more than 1,100 proposed data centers across all 50 states.

Why Architect Digital exists
According to a Gallup poll, more than 70% of Americans oppose data center construction in their area. Every data center has neighbors. Those neighbors feel the impact of data centers but often lack the information and organizing tools to shape the decisions affecting their communities. Local residents may also learn about proposed data centers only after important decisions are already underway or have been made by local authorities. Some online discussions about data centers show signs of coordinated inauthentic behavior, in which networks of fake or misrepresented accounts post in concert to make a position appear more widely held than it is. That makes it difficult for residents to know whether the people participating in discussions actually live in their community.

Architect Digital gives residents one place to find out what is proposed near them and where their community stands. The platform is neutral on data centers and welcomes every point of view.

"Data centers are being built in towns across America. Our mission is to make sure residents have the information and tools they need to understand what is happening in their communities and to make their voices heard," said Janine Yorio, spokesperson for the company.

What residents can do on Architect Digital
The platform is free to use. Residents can:

• Find proposed data centers near them.
• Register their stance and track changes in local sentiment.
• Share facts with neighbors.
• Organize their community.
• See which local, state and federal officials have stated a position on data center development.
• Report projects or events the platform is missing.
• Become a Community Organizer.

The long-term goal is collective bargaining for everyday Americans: giving residents a way to coordinate under shared rules, to build negotiating power and to participate in the decision-making process. Architect Digital helps local residents measure and increase their impact on their communities.
