Kentucky Reevaluates Data Center Tax Breaks | Lexington News
Kentucky lawmakers are rethinking massive, no-strings-attached tax breaks for data centers—some lasting up to 50 years—that could cost the state billions and lack job creation requirements. Originally meant to lure tech investment, the program is now under fire as legislators admit they didn’t fully grasp what data centers entail. With a new report warning of huge revenue losses, some lawmakers want to repeal the incentives entirely, while others urge caution to avoid shutting out future growth. A push is also underway to ensure new facilities cover their own energy costs, with one senator praising the governor’s standards but calling for legislative oversight. Kentucky joins other states rolling back similar deals, trying to strike a balance between attracting tech and protecting taxpayers.
