Arizona Pauses Data Center Tax Incentives After Governor Hobbs Signs Bill

17h 54m ago by lemmy.today/u/sanitation in technology from news.bloomberglaw.com

Data centers deserve zero tax breaks. They’re flush with investor cash and should be forced to pay for any additional infrastructure costs to power and cool themselves.

More than that, they should require an environmental bond and community improvements, and a 50 year water management plan. They should be treated in the same way as a strip mine.

And requirements to pay for any power infrastructure improvements needed to facilitate their build and operation.

All of which should be unable to be waived, by law.
