Tax breaks & subsidies
source: Good Jobs First / GASB 77No per-deal tax break is linked to this site yet.

We check state withdrawal reporting for self-supplied sites; municipally supplied sites only become visible through a public-records request to the local water utility — a per-facility request tool is coming.
