Terry Brewer, executive director of the Grant County Economic Development Council, wrote in response to today's story on the data center boom in Quincy, that his organization has "responded to requests for information from more than a dozen clients and consultants representing clients who are researching sites for data centers."

And, of course, the interest is stretching beyond just Quincy, or just Grant County. Moses Lake, Wenatchee and The Dalles, Ore., are all benefiting from the same trend.
