Nevada Reconsiders Data Center Tax…Nevada Reconsiders Data Center Tax Breaks

Nevada is reassessing tax abatements for data centers as construction demand accelerates and the state hosts 76 facilities built or under construction. More than $240 million in sales and use tax abatements were granted during fiscal years 2023 and 2024, prompting debate over foregone public revenue, infrastructure demands, and local input. Aaron Ford, who helped sponsor the 2015 bipartisan program, now supports pausing or tightening new incentives, while Sen. Dina Neal has proposed a statutory moratorium.
