As artificial intelligence and data centers influence our economy, communities across the region face a pivotal question: how do we prepare on our own terms?

Join fellow community leaders, planners, business owners, and elected officials for an introductory forum exploring the basics of energy & AI, and how it impacts people, place, and policy.


The expansion of energy infrastructure and future technology presents a real "Yes, And" opportunity- the potential to welcome economic growth, and strong intention to preserve quality of life, landscapes, and character in our communities. This session will explore how communities in the tri-state region can step into this emerging space in a way that reflects their values.


Thrive's “Yes, And…” Forums convene people across the tri-state region to shape competing priorities into shared possibilities — because real progress doesn't choose sides, it connects them.

Speakers and agenda coming soon!
