A data-center proposal can matter to land brokers, infrastructure suppliers and site-selection teams for very different reasons. The first job is to work out what is actually documented. P&Z Radar’s Data Center section brings project information and its public evidence together. Let’s see how you could use it to build a more focused research shortlist before investing time in a possible opportunity.
You can inspect sample records before starting a trial. These are clearly labelled historical examples, shown through the product’s interface. They are not today’s live coverage. Look at how a card separates the last recorded action, the next step, relevant audiences and what is still unknown. That structure helps you decide which questions deserve attention without treating every headline as the same kind of opportunity.
Take a historical example and follow its timeline. A proposal, a recommendation and an adopted decision are different events. So are a delayed hearing and a cancelled project. Read the dated action and its citation together. If the next-step date has already passed, that is a reason to find a newer source, not a reason to repeat it as an upcoming event. The evidence trail gives your research a place to begin.
A land broker might shortlist proposals near a target area and investigate the named parties. A supplier might look for a project whose scope matches its services. A site-selection team might compare planning stages and local policy questions. In each case, write down the project, source, current question and next research action. A public filing is not a verified buyer contact, an open tender, available land or a promise of utility capacity.
Before signing up, check the coverage page for your market. It distinguishes watched sources and reviewed projects, and shows when sources were read. A city can be watched without having a reviewed data-center project to show. This is not a nationwide inventory of every facility. The right test is whether the records in your area answer questions you would otherwise spend time researching manually.
The separate Data Center trial is offered without a card. The page explains that you receive a workspace link, then start the trial inside the account when there is a reviewed project to see. It describes access to reviewed records, timelines, tracking, a weekly brief and exports. Use the trial to investigate one real project and build one useful shortlist. Then decide whether the evidence and workflow fit your work. Start with the sample, and check your market first.
Choose your role. These are example workflows you can try with the records available
in your metro, rather than claimed customer results.
Land brokers: bring a better-informed opportunity to your client
Your question: Where is data center development being proposed near the land I represent?
Your workflow: Filter the project register by city. Read the location,
applicant and requested development in the available records, then open the source before
preparing a client brief or researching the named parties.
Your takeaway: A shortlist with source links and next steps to investigate,
so your client conversation starts with documented activity.
Developers & site-selection teams: compare the local planning picture
Your question: What is being proposed in the markets we are evaluating?
Your workflow: Compare recorded project stages and timelines, inspect
mapped facilities, and read policy items such as ordinances or moratoria. Use the
cited documents to identify questions for local officials and your diligence team.
Your takeaway: A planning brief for your market review. Confirm land
availability, utility capacity and permitting requirements separately.
Suppliers & contractors: focus business development on relevant projects
Your question: Which proposed projects fit our power, cooling, civil or construction services?
Your workflow: Review project scope, stage and named organizations where
available. Export relevant records for your prospect research, then follow the weekly
brief for recorded changes that may affect your outreach timing.
Your takeaway: A prioritized research list for your sales team.
A public filing is a lead to investigate, not an open tender or a verified buyer contact.
Investors & lenders: ground your project review in public evidence
Your question: Has a project advanced, been continued or encountered a local planning issue?
Your workflow: Read the project timeline and source documents. Separate
staff recommendations from recorded decisions, check the next dated hearing, and use
policy changes to frame follow-up questions.
Your takeaway: A dated evidence trail for your diligence notes,
with gaps visible. Financing, tenant commitments and investment returns require other sources.
Utilities & infrastructure teams: see where proposals may warrant a closer look
Your question: What proposed development could matter to our service territory?
Your workflow: Review locations and project scope in the covered cities.
Where a filing discusses power, water, roads or substations, read the original document
and track its next public planning step.
Your takeaway: A set of documented proposals to route for internal review.
A planning record does not establish available grid capacity or an interconnection commitment.
Planning advisors, counsel & local teams: prepare for the next discussion
Your question: What changed, and which source should we read before the meeting?
Your workflow: Check the decision calendar, review the latest recorded
action and open the cited packet. Follow the policy watch for relevant local rules and
assemble source links for a client or team briefing.
Your takeaway: A focused reading list and questions to resolve.
Confirm meeting dates and current requirements with the city before acting.
Search reviewed project records by city, status or operator. See the applicant, location, proposed development and next dated step where the source provides them. Explore mapped facilities and construction registrations alongside the project register; export records for your own research.
Use the weekly brief to review new filings, recommendations, recorded decisions and continuances. Follow dated hearings in the decision calendar and local rules in the policy watch, without repeatedly searching city websites.
Open the public source behind each reviewed record. See what is documented, when it was published and what is still unknown, so you can qualify an opportunity before committing time or money.
What to accomplish during your free trial
Check your market. Open the coverage page and your metro’s register.
Look for the cities, project types and organizations that matter to your work.
Investigate a real project. Read its timeline, open the public source
and decide whether the available detail answers a question you would otherwise research manually.
Build something useful. Make a client shortlist, a prospect-research list
or a diligence brief. Use exports and the weekly brief to see whether the section fits your routine.
The reason to subscribe: keep using a searchable record of local project activity and
its changes, with the source evidence together in one place. Decide based on the records
in your market and the research work they help you complete.
Before you sign up
Can I see the evidence before starting a trial?
Yes. The sample records show historical examples with
source citations. They demonstrate the record format; the live project counts above and
coverage page describe current availability.
Does this cover every data center or city?
No. Coverage is built city by city, and records are published after review. Check the
coverage page for collection status and freshness. The facility inventory and reviewed
project register serve different purposes; a mapped facility is not proof of a new project.
Will I get contacts, available land or confirmed power capacity?
Records may identify applicants, owners or operators when the public source names them.
The section is not a verified contact directory, land-availability service or power-capacity
assessment. Use the evidence to guide your own outreach and diligence.
What happens when my trial ends?
The 14-day trial requires no credit card and ends automatically. There is no
automatic charge. The paid-access option below explains how to continue; an existing
P&Z Radar plan is not changed by starting this trial.

Try the register, inventory and weekly brief for 14 days. Check whether the
records cover the locations and opportunities you care about before choosing paid access.
Nashville: 41 watched cities read on their own agenda cadence; 16 mapped facilities and construction registrations in the inventory. Coverage is built out city by city and the coverage page says which cities were read this week and which were not. Early access: the inventory grows as filings appear and reviewers clear them.
Partial processing for 2026-10-28 to 2026-11-03 (America/Chicago dates): 8 documents fetched this week are unresolved after extraction (8 with an item extraction could not confidently capture or validate); 19 of 41 watched cities had no successful portal read. A project in that material may not be in the register yet. This is about reading and extraction, not delivery: it does not mean alerts failed. No week in the last 8 weeks can be confirmed complete.
