No tax breaks for data centers! this is ridiculous
Absolutely no need for tax abatements. They need to self fund.
The public deserves an answer as to why the MDC flipped from being unanimously opposed to this project just 12 days before they’ve approved it. What happened to change their minds?
The numbers in the headline arebalsoisleading. It’s noted that this company is going to save 155M on equipment taxes each 5 year cycle while spending just 19.4M over 15 years on those same taxes.
The community is being pillaged to make an out of state company’s executives even richer.
Thanks to IBJ for removing the number from the headline
Seriously, NO TAX BREAKS for data centers. Not even for sales taxes. This is a for-profit entity making millions of dollars. Not a non-profit that needs the assistance because they are creating public benefit.
Corruption in full display.
Where’s all the pro-AI data center bros using Claude to tell us why AI data centers not paying taxes is good, actually?
They’re too busy asking Claude to do their thinking for them, but they only use the free version so the prompt is taking forever
recent article indicated over 75% of data centers were built without tax incentives, so why is a city who cannot afford to continnue to give-away the bank offering an incentive for a project that is opposed by the residents? Just asking.
WHY would the city give tax breaks for something that is a net negative to the community? This makes absolutely no sense.
Why didn’t they present their request for the tax breaks and debatements when they first proposed this project? My vote would be a big no to any tax breaks or abatements.
This needs to be answered immediately.
Grift.
Throw the whole department away. Either someone’s hand is dripping in grease or someone is in bed with someone.
Absurd.
