I just found this pdf from the US Chamber of Commerce that can shed some light on a few questions you may have (HTTPS+Valid Secure Certificate):

Data Centers: Jobs and Opportunities in Communities Nationwide https://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/ctec_datacente...

It covers: Initial capital and operational expenditure, economic impact, spillover benefits, etc

In addition to Gpetrium's comment, there is this report by Oxford Economics that has been linked to elsewhere in the comments: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en...
