The Evolving Landscape of AI Infrastructure
April 7, 2026
AI infrastructure is forcing a new siting calculus—one defined by power, speed, and execution risk. Host Andrew Greiner speaks with Matt Landek (JLL) and Michalis Grigoratos (Infra Partners) on compressing “Time to First Token” with prefabricated delivery, then with Justin McAfee (Wright One) on what communities must do to win and execute advanced manufacturing projects. Mark Cote closes with a scan of “industries of the future,” from SMRs and geothermal to critical minerals and defense innovation.
The latest episode of The Site & Facility Planning Podcast dives into the rapid evolution of AI infrastructure and its implications for the future of various industries. Because power needs drive site decisions, leaders must adapt quickly to new energy realities.
