We serve
all year long
Because communities are built in person.
Our commitment to a community runs the whole life of a project — it starts before ground breaks, carries through construction and continues for decades after a campus comes online. For more than 20 years, we’ve worked to build the right way and make a meaningful difference in the places we call home.
Engagement starts with local leadership and residents — open forums where the hard questions get asked, and answered, before anything is approved.
Our commitments arrive with the announcement — for example, a $28.5 million minimum community commitment pledged in Blakely, Georgia.
Every campus means work close to home — more than 1,500 construction jobs on a single project, built in partnership with local building trades, contractors and suppliers.
For example, our Fayetteville, Georgia campus is built exclusively with U.S.-made generators, steel and concrete. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, our build has put more than $1 billion into domestic suppliers.
A data center campus pays local taxes for decades — for example, $200 million over 20 years in Van Wert alone — funding schools, roads and first responders without raising residents’ taxes.
Every employee gets four paid volunteer days, and QTS employees serve thousands of hours every year. In New Albany, Ohio, the city named QTS its Business Volunteer of the Year.
These commitments reach beyond our fences and into the neighborhoods where we operate — strengthening the places our teams and neighbors call home.
We work hand in hand with local leaders to invest in the priorities that matter most in each community we join — from schools and parks to first responders and small businesses.
Tax revenue from our campuses helps fund the shared places that make a neighborhood — new parks, ballfields, trails and protected open space. We work with local leaders on the projects residents actually want, so growth leaves a community better than it found it.
Strong communities start in the classroom. We direct resources to local schools and a diverse STEM talent pipeline — backing the programs, facilities and scholarships that ready young people for a digital economy, and investing in the students who will one day run it.
The people who keep a community safe deserve a partner in the companies that call it home. Through the tax base our data centers create, we help fund fire, police and emergency services — and coordinate with local departments so what we build strengthens public safety rather than straining it.
Every campus is an engine for the local economy. We prioritize local contractors, suppliers and vendors, and hire from the community — including veterans — so the dollars we spend stay close to home and Main Street grows right along with us.
We believe the true value of our work is in the communities we strengthen, the commitments we uphold and the people we empower.

Investment builds on QTS’s broader commitment to Cedar Rapids and eastern Iowa by expanding access to training, apprenticeships and long-term career pathways.
Read the story →Before ground is broken — and long after — we show up in person. QTS hosts town halls in the communities we join: open forums where residents ask the hard questions, hear straight answers, and meet the people behind the project. No script, no filter, just a seat at the table.
A data center is a decades-long neighbor, so the conversation can’t end at approval. We keep the lines open through every phase — sharing plans early, flagging changes honestly, and staying reachable when questions come up. Transparency isn’t a one-time disclosure; it’s an ongoing relationship.
Listening only counts if it changes what you do. We actively solicit feedback from residents and local leaders, then let those priorities shape the programs, resources and improvements we invest in. The community tells us what matters most — and we follow through where it counts.
The best outcomes come from building with a community, not just in it. We work alongside city officials, civic groups and local stakeholders to align our developments with the goals residents already hold — so growth strengthens the place instead of disrupting it.
