AZ Dems secure 3-year freeze on new data center tax incentives


Arizona is home to more than 150 data centers, partly thanks to tax exemptions that made the state look enticing to developers.

But that’s about to change. Arizona Democrats secured a 3–year long freeze on new data center tax incentives as part of a bipartisan budget deal signed by Gov. Katie Hobbs.

House Democratic Leader Rep. Oscar De Los Santos praised the move and said the money would be rerouted to Arizona communities, instead.
