Data Center Tax Breaks Under Review
Coverage from Vindman.house.gov, Congressman Don Davis, and others
House Democrats have introduced legislation that would prevent data centers from using 100% bonus depreciation and expanded Opportunity Zone tax benefits included in the Republican-backed H.
R. 1. Supporters argue the incentives are accelerating AI data center construction while shifting electricity, water, and infrastructure costs onto communities, including in Virginia and North Carolina. The proposals remain under consideration, and broader congressional action has not been committed to.
