New Jersey Hosts Over 70 Data Centers Across the State

State records show that New Jersey operates more than 70 data centers, with the state legislature reporting 73 facilities as of March 2024 and a private mapping site listing 67. The majority are clustered in the northern part of the state. Residents have voiced concerns that the growing concentration of data centers strains local resources such as water and electricity and contributes to noise and air‑pollution problems. Industry groups define a data center as a building that houses IT infrastructure for running applications and storing associated data, and the sector continues to expand throughout New Jersey.

The listing of facilities aims to inform the public about the locations and potential community impacts of these high‑tech installations.
