Tax breaks & subsidies
source: Good Jobs First / GASB 77No per-deal tax break is linked to this site yet. No state discloses the recipient of a data-center abatement at the facility level, so per-site deals are rare in the public record. If you have a development agreement or board resolution for this site, send it to us.
Washington reported $100.1M in Data center equipment and infrastructure sales/use tax exemption — rural counties (RCW 82.08.986 / 82.12.986) for FY2024 (Washington State Department of Revenue). Program-wide, not attributable to this site.
