Building Community Connections in Orangeburg, One Conversation at a Time
DataBank is describing its community outreach around its Orangeburg-area data center, including festival participation and support for Pearl River Little League. This appears to be a company blog-style community relations post rather than a first-time infrastructure announcement.
- DataBank says employees from its nearby LGA3 data center joined Pearl River Day, staffing a booth to meet residents, answer questions, and distribute materials about data centers.
- The company says it invested nearly $20,000 in dugout sheds and field lighting for Pearl River Little League, and provides about $5,000 annually for sponsorship and student-athlete scholarships; it also mentions the “DataBank Dinger” home-run fundraiser tied to scholarships.
