How Hamlet helps data center developers

Hamlet gives data center teams one place to track local-government activity—through proactive agenda alerts and searchable meeting archives—so you can spot risk early and move faster on viable sites.

Stop guessing. Start planning with clarity.

See risk and opportunity earlier

Hamlet analyzes thousands of hours of local meetings to surface:

Sentiment around energy, water, emissions, noise, and industrial expansion
Zoning, permitting, and land-use shifts
Utility and infrastructure updates that impact viability

BUILD FASTER. AVOID SURPRISES. GET UPSTREAM OF RISK.

What’s slowing down your data center timeline?

Hidden site risks that appear late

Power constraints, zoning overlays, water-use rules, and emissions policies shift constantly at the local level. Hamlet surfaces these early conversations so you know where risk is already emerging.

Approvals that stall because you don’t know what’s changed

From use-permit requirements to moratoriums and plan updates, critical changes often surface too late. Hamlet lets you search years of meetings to spot blockers tied to your project.

From our customers

"Our team utilizes Hamlet to efficiently monitor public hearings in multiple jurisdictions, eliminating the need to send team members to planning commission or city council meetings. With Hamlet, we stay well-informed and ahead of the market, enabling us to track competitive projects seeking approval with ease."
Multifamily Development Firm | Hamlet Customer
"I wanted a more efficient way to understand what’s happening in areas where we plan new developments, without tracking every city individually or navigating antiquated, unreliable websites. With Hamlet Haystack, we can monitor everything from a 10,000-foot view, know what’s going on, and if there’s something we need to dig deeper into."
Private Real Estate Developer | Hamlet Customer
"Haystack allows you to have a broader, more comprehensive view of what’s going on. Having a sense of how commissioners are feeling, you can determine: ‘What conversations do I need to be having? Who do I need to follow up with? How does this information shape what is happening at the site?’ Haystack creates the impetus for conversations you might have otherwise missed."
