They're eerie too. Windowless, massive structures with like 10 cars in the parking lot. At least a warehouse you see trucks coming and going, and you know there are people inside loading them that are local. Then managers make sure the right stuff is going to the right truck. Just as ugly but you see signs of life. And the truckers will stop to keep Diesel and maybe a meal, so some sales taxes there.
And if H1B, likely Indians, they probably sleep on site. Don't buy or rent a home. That's how Indians roll in my neck of the woods in Chicagoland. Sleep where they work. Save as much as they can and live like kings in the few parts that are good in India when done working here. They buy a few groceries, a beater car and occasionally some gas. They put less into the economy than what a high schooler would.

No shafting FPL rate payers by making them subsidize Data Centers, who often just bring in H1Bs and create very few jobs. Those that are created are usually a handful of janitor and security guard and other low paying, no upward mobility jobs, yet come at a massive cost in subsidies from taxpayers to multinats and bigcorps from MS to Humana. In the end small towns are lucky to get 2-3 decent paying jobs and maybe half a dozen shitty ones IF the company doesn't just H1B the half dozen or less actual IT jobs there.
Local Commissioners/Politicians are infamous for making residential and commercial residents subsidize the lion's share of electric and others Data Center costs.
